LIVELOVELAUGH - Sparkling Wine - Yotes Court Vineyard - 12% ABV
 
A crisp, floral Traditional Method sparkling wine made from 100% Pinot Gris Grapes.
 
This crisp, Traditional Method sparkling wine has notes of white pear, gentle florals, preserved lemon and breadcrumbs on the nose.  On the palate the wine is medium weighted with gentle mousse and a fresh citrus and pear drop finish.
 
In the Vineyard
The grapes for 'LiveLoveLaugh' sparkling Pinot Gris were harvested last October from the youngest vines planted high up in the vineyard in 2019. As the grapes were destined for Yotes Court first ever commercially available sparkling wine they decided to share this journey and hold a special 'Harvest Experience' where the grapes for this Early Release sparkling Pinot Gris were hand picked by local friends, family, and supporters of Yotes Court Vinyard.
 
Food Pairing
LiveLoveLaugh sparkling Pinot Gris, with its coveted acidity pairs well with rich butter-laden foods like rich soft cheese and creamy sauces. Its crispness also makes it an ideal partner for shellfish like prawns, oysters and fried calamari as well as a smoked salmon blini.
 
Review
“This is an outstanding, charming, gentle, dry sparkling white with notes of pear, yellow apple, fresh bread and cream. It dances across the palate bringing freshness and vinous joy. There is beautiful balance between the fresh citrus acidity and the tender ripe fruit. This is a great aperitif, but it would also suit a variety of canapés.” – Clive Barlow MW.
