"The base wines (100% chardonnay) came from 2020 to ’22, grown at Lobethal and Kuitpo; wild-yeast ferments of full-juice solids in tank and seasoned puncheons. The result is a complex, textured wine not made by the traditional method."

Tasting Notes
Sparkling wine is often pitched as a celebration wine, but we see no need to restrict its consumption purely to celebratory occasions. Some of our favourite times to drink bubbles are not noteworthy occasions at all, simply moments worthy of a delicious, refreshing drink!
The Adelaide Hills is renowned for high quality cool-climate Chardonnay, so there was no question as to where we would look for our first Blanc de Blancs. Careful fruit selection and attentive winemaking give a fresh-fruited wine with some nutty complexity and interest from lees contact.
This is an elegant wine with ‘Granny Smith’ apple acidity and almond biscotti flavours combining into a delicious drink to enjoy with friends. Serve chilled — around 8° to 10°C.
