Following a minimal Brut Nature style dosage, the wine was aged for a further year before release.
 
The wine shows toasty notes of nuts and fresh brioche supported by apple and lemon. Cuvée de l’île is a wine of passion and made in very small quantities. It is bone-dry, poised and showcases Unsworth’s meticulous attention to detail.
