[SOLD-OUT] Hattingley Valley Kings Cuvee 2013

DECANTER 96 POINTS!  
WINE ENTHUSIAST 94 POINTS!  
THE KINGS CUVEE IS A 100% BARREL FERMENTED SPARKLING. THE BASE WINE WAS AGED IN OAK FOR 8 MONTHS, WITH ONLY THE TOP SEVEN BARRELS CHOSEN FOR THIS EXTREMELY LIMITED TOP CUVEE.

"This recent release of Hattingley’s top cuvée is a bold and compelling wine. A barrel-fermented blend of 70% Chardonnay with 30% Pinot Noir, it has spent 30 months on its lees. The taste is like warm buttered toast spread with tangy lemon curd, while the finish is long, focussed and satisfying. Still in the flush of youth, it has undoubted hidden depths and needs time to evolve." - Decanter

"The vanilla and Golden Delicious richness on the nose immediately suggests the roundness of oak. The vanilla notes attain extra creaminess on the palate but are countered by exquisite lemon freshness and a developed autolytic background that suggests the richness of butter pastry. Creaminess reigns on the midpalate but it is the pure bright ripe lemon that dominates the long finish." - Wine Enthusiast
