A pale straw colour and aromas of ripe citrus fruits indicate the Chardonnay origins of Pelorus NV. A bouquet of apple and lemon complements fresh bready notes derived from two years bottle ageing on lees. The deliciously crisp palate displays toasty, creamy complexity, enhanced by a lingering nutty finish. Cloudy Bay Pelorus is produced by the traditional method from predominantly Chardonnay grapes grown in Marlborough's Wairau. As a non-vintage sparkling wine, the final Pelorus blend comprises base wines from several seasons. |
