Sparkling
2017 Vintage Brut
Stonefruit | Roasted Nuts | Complex
An inviting bouquet of lemon curd and toasty lemon that immediately captivates the senses. On the palate, it showcases absolute precision, with a beautiful line and length that carries through each sip. The zingy apple notes, particularly the bright Granny Smith, dance alongside rich elements of baked cheesecake, adding a delightful creaminess.
A Pinot Noir-dominant (78%) blend with Chardonnay (22%); fruit is taken from across four of our vineyard sites, ensuring complexity in the base wine.
Base winemaking/blending: 100% hand-harvested and whole bunch pressed, 50% fermented in neutral French oak barriques and 50% in stainless steel. After malolactic fermentation, the wine was left to age for 5 months before blending.
Base wine went to tirage, secondary fermentation occurred in the bottle and the wine was aged for 6 years and 8 months on lees.
