Tasting Notes
This is an extremely limited inaugural release of Moon Curser's Eclipse, a sparkling Roussanne and Marsanne blend made in the Traditional Method. This intriguing blend has a beautiful pale straw yellow colour in the glass. The nose hints at the complexity of this fine wine - the magic of the Traditional Method lies in the development of the complex aromas of brioche, baked pear, meringue and pie crust. On the palate, this medium-bodied dry (Brut) sparkling wine displays a well-balanced structure with a flavourful palate of cinnamon, honeysuckle, stewed peach and vanilla. The long-lasting finish and fine mousse create the 'one more glass, please!' effect. This is a wine that can either be enjoyed purely on its own, or with a wide array of different foods: anything from fresh oysters with lemon to an elevated creamy macaroni and cheese with chorizo will be a pleasing pairing. We expect this wine to continue developing in bottle through to 2026.
