Excellent with oysters! A really fine effort here, I think it beats Iron Horse’s similar offering (Brut X) by a small margin. Both wines have little to no dosage added. Really happy I discovered this.

A very juicy, chewy style. The hot year came through in overripe, cooked cherry/rhubarb pie. Not much complexity to speak of at 10 years. Would make a good pairing with heavier fare. Likely a great duck breast wine if sauced with savory vs sweet.
