Silverthorn The Green Man Brut Robertson Methode Cap Classique 2007 90 points


Clear, pale straw, low plus concentration, low plus viscosity, vibrant energetic bubbles and fine persistent mousse.

Clean, with medium plus intensity, appley / peppery note, light toast with limestone like minerality.

Dry to off dry, medium plus acidity, low plus alcohol, textured leesy mid palate with new flavours of ripe apples and just ripe yellow lemon, minerality follows through, medium plus length and complexity.

Served at 8 degrees Celsius, in a ‘Riesling” style Riedel glass rather than a flute to fully express the layers of complexities, now until 2016
Excellent pairing with spring rolls fill with sea bass, shiitake mushroom, fresh mint, shredded bamboo shoot and spring onions
