Charles Melton Sparkling Red NV Size::1 Bottle vibrant style of red wine

vibrant style of red wine with lifted herbal and blackcurrant flavours

The aroma is young and fresh

Balanced and multifaceted

The wine matured for 18 months in 500-litre puncheons (one-third new)

I just need to see more delineation and terroir expression once in bottle

Charles Melton Sparkling Red NV Size::1 Bottle vibrant style of red wineLovely deepish burgundy colour. Beautifully clean and sweet lift on the nose. A mix of fragrant red fruits and sweet spices. A very fine tongue coating mousse with some apparent sweetness (necessary for a long ageing traditional sparkling burgundy style) that is finely balanced by some just evident tannins. The complexity and fine bubble is evidence of the almost 60 months lees ageing. Best drunk just chilled.
