Tasting Notes
Grape varietals: Chardonnay
Biscuity aromatics, citrus brightness, and mineral acidity merge into a sparkling wine of texture and length.
Fresh lemon zest, grapefruit, and toasted brioche characterise the nose. A lively mousse progresses into notes of green apple, lemon cream, and crushed shells. The finish is dry, mineral, and perfectly balanced.
Winemaking Process
Pressed whole-bunch, with partial oak fermentation before ageing in bottle for depth and finesse.
Hand-harvested Chardonnay is gently pressed. It is fermented in stainless steel with a portion in seasoned French oak. Secondary fermentation is in bottle. It is Lees-aged for 16 months. There is no malolactic fermentation, preserving tension and elegance. The wine is disgorged and dosed to a dry style.
