Velfrey NV Some Young Punks

Velfrey NV Some Young PunksThis sparkling wine has a lively pour and excellent clarity. On the nose it is floral with elderflower, pear and nectarine. On the palette, there is ripe peach with citrus fruit piercing through. There is some complexity and really good length. The traditional method (secondary fermentation in the bottle, followed by a period of ageing in contact with the yeast) provides a rich brioche like savouriness. This is balanced by a nice refreshing acidity.

Jonica and Gerard Fox have been growing vines since 2004 and producing wine since 2009
