Cellar Tasting Wine Bios Flashcards
What does the method traditionelle taste like.
Characteristics of peach, red apple and a bit buiscuity. Delicate fizz. Dry.
Champagne style - gentle fizz which happens on second fermentation which happens in the bottle, takes a long time to make, 18 months. Comes from Chardonnay and Pinot noir grapes (why we get it from Marlborough)
What does the reserve pinot Gris taste like?
Very sweet, very rich, pear, lychee, honey and lime, ginger and spice.
Fans of Asian food would think of perhaps a sake, would go great with something very savoury like a cheese board.
What does the port style wine taste like?
Christmas cake, vanilla, violets, spice, dark chocolate.
20% alcohol. Could sit in your cupboard for up to 10 years and would mellow as it matures into a really lovely flavour.
