Delaire Graff Sunrise Brut, 750ml

Green-tinged and pale lemon yellow in colour, the Sunrise Brut is named after the magnificent 118.08 carat Delaire Sunrise Diamond — the largest square emerald cut vivid yellow diamond in the world. With aromas of fresh gooseberry and cantaloup, the palate shows finesse and intensity, with a fine, perfectly integrated mousse of lime, pear drop and delicate vanilla notes — it's zesty and fresh with a harmonious finish. This Method Cap Classique is a blend of Chenin Blanc, Chardonnay and Cabernet Franc and is as unique and dazzling as its namesake.
