Tasting Notes
A Classic Cuvée with an attractive pale golden colour, Shastye offers up delicate yet rich and toasty aromas, with a beguiling full-flavoured rich mousse of energetic fruity bubbles that dance in the mouth with a tangy liveliness followed by a refreshing dry finish.
Suggested Pairings
Ideal as an aperitif or equally well paired with food, it is a great companion to a wide range of sweet and savoury dishes and an excellent accompaniment to creamy and meat based dishes.
Download Spec SheetAbout Shastye
Shastye really was that mare in a million and her achievements and the exploits of her progeny have been well documented over recent years. Bought by Klaus J Jacobs and John Warren at Tattersalls December Sale in 2005 for 625,000gns, she could hardly be considered cheap, but what a bargain she turned out to be. Her yearlings alone generated over £15 million at public auction and more importantly she produced three Group 1 winners, (and we unashamedly include Secret Gesture here, who had her Gr.1 Beverley D Stakes victory taken away from her), four Group winners and five Group/Stakes winners overall.
Shastye's Progeny
Her progeny, including Secret Gesture, Sir Isaac Newton, Japan and Mogul, won Group 1 races in England, France, North America and Hong Kong. The exploits of her progeny, most notably formed from her wonderful partnership with the extraordinary Galileo, gave Newsells the most unforgettable moments, whether they came amid the silence of a hushed sales ring, or accompanied by the roar of the crowd at Epsom, York, Longchamp or Sha Tin.
