Étoile No.3
A DARING EXPLORATION OF FLAVOUR
For Étoile No. 3, our winemakers reimagined what blending itself could be. Rather than beginning with a fixed foundation, they aproached the process as pure composition. As they blended, something remarkable happened: new flavours began to emerge. The result is a sparkling wine that stretches the boundaries of what we expect in the glass. Lifted and layered, generous yet finely poised, structured yet full of movement. With 7,764 bottles created, Étoile No. 3 embodies vitality, length, and a strong sense of self.
TASTING NOTES
Bright kumquat citrus, fennel, hazelnut nougat and spiced apple. Elegant, harmonious and layered
"Bright, full yellow, glowing in the glass. The bouquet is complex and very nutty, suggesting some oak involvement: nougat, creamed hazelnuts, a touch of milk powder that became more obvious the longer it was in the glass, and pencil shavings. The palate offers just-ripe stone-fruits and lemony/citrusy acidity cutting through and in tandem with subtle phenolics, leaving a dry and refreshing finish that invites another sip. A very smart non-vintage sparkling wine."- Huon Hooke, The Real Review
