2019 Howard Park Grand Vintage Jeté
$58.00
Jeté is a signature ballet movement requiring time, dedication, commitment and great skill to create the illusion of boundless control. The same commitment and skill is engaged in the making of our méthode traditionnelle wines in an endeavour to create wines of finesse, refinement, elegance and poise.
From our growing experience of the Mount Barrow site and the making of méthode traditionnelle wines, the Grand Jeté style is evolving. The vineyard naturally delivers a fine, mineral line of acidity which sets the style as aperitif – crisp and bright. It is generously fruit-driven and the dosage is crafted to balance the fine acidity.

TASTING NOTE
Vintage
A wine crafted from the noble sparkling grapes of Chardonnay and Pinot Noir, radiating the classic varietal characteristics of citrus, white stone fruit and mixed berries. Aromas of shortbread, meringue and apple tart emerge alongside an underlying mineral edge of oyster shell and shale. Vibrant freshness is evident, as flavours of white grapefruit, lemon pith and finger lime mingle seamlessly. Almond and gingersnap notes become apparent in turn, due to 52 months spent on lees in tirage. A refined and sophisticated bead dances delicately over the palate, amidst a harmony of citrus fruits and green apple, leading to an energetic minerality that unfurls to a lengthy, mouthwatering finish.
