Description
Michael Cruse is still tinkering with the style of Tradition, his non-vintage sparkler. This sees no sulfur during elevage, and the combination of lees and mild oxidation results in a wine of unusual and dramatic savor. Salty, nutty, bready, with a lees character so pronounced it brings sherry to mind, the wine nevertheless has a tremendous tension to the its structure, a lemon curd brightness over the breadth from the lees yielding an umami character in the extreme. It’s hunger-inducing for—well, anything, including, say, pork croquettes and patatas bravas.
