Wine Family: The Socialites
Tasting Notes:
Attention to every detail. On the nose the wine is a bit shy but extremely elegant. Waves of marzipan, biscuit and brioche flow over a citrusy layer of pear, green apple and lemon curd. On the palate is where all the magic happens. Chardonnay welcomes you with freshness and complexity, the spicy depth comes with Pinot Noir and Pinot Meunier brings softness to the blend. The palate is pleasant and dry. Fresh apple and pear melts away in vanilla custard and brioche flavours. The use of reserve wine (wine from different vintages) is evident by the marvellous texture, silk and creamy body. All lifted by a well-balanced acidity and lingering finish.
Behind the Name:
The Pollyanna principle is the tendency for people to remember pleasant times more accurately than unpleasant ones. Chester’s mother, Pauline, was a living testament to this truth, always looking on the bright side of life. An eternal optimist, she was known to family and friends alike as Pollyanna Polly.
