Leonardslee Brut Reserve

Leonardslee Brut Reserve

Description

Grapes were hand-harvested in the cool of the morning. They were then whole-bunch-pressed into part stainless steel and French oak barrels (20%) for fermentation. Full malolactic fermentation was done on the base wine to soften the 2021’s natural acidity, adding a creamy texture and depth. Only wine made from the free run juice together with 6% reserve wine from previous vintages was used in the final blend to create the signature Leonardslee house style. The final blend was bottled and it then underwent, according to the traditional method, second fermentation in the bottle. This is followed by bottle maturation of approximately 30 months, and only then was it disgorged, corked and labelled.

This wine exudes a vibrant intensity while maintaining an elegant and refined style. It features bright aromas of green apple and subtle berries, complemented by yeasty and brioche notes that are accentuated by the fine mousse. The lively acidity is well-balanced with a tangy finish and a fresh floral aftertaste, making it both delicious and versatile.
