Colour:
Medium straw with a green/gold hue. Crystal clear with lively effervescence
Bouquet:
Fresh lime, white peach and lifted floral aromas
Palate:
Bright and flavoursome with red berry, citrus and peach flavours. Creamy and balanced with a natural acid finish
Food Pairing:
Great as an aperitif or enjoy with oyster, seafood (like white fish or smoked salmon) and fresh fruit
Winemaker’s Notes:
Gentle pressing of fruit ensures minimal extraction of phenolics giving a soft palate. 100% malolactic fermentation gives added complexity and creaminess. A fresh natural acidity ensures the slightly sweet palate finishes crisp and dry. The Riddle plays on Thomas Hardy’s character – just as solving riddles requires wit and careful thinking, his engaging character and touch of daring enabled him to establish a successful wine empire
