Harvest:Good winter rains set the vines up for the perfect start to the growing season with mild conditions continuing through from budburst to flowering. This allowed for good, even fruit set and low disease pressure. Harvest began in late January and continued in and even, unhurried pace into late March.
Winemaking:Made from 100% Chardonnay, the grapes were picked early to ensure we retained the vital acidity needed in sparkling wine. The grapes were pressed and cold settled prior to racking and inoculation with a carefully selected yeast strain. The wine was left ‘sur lie’ for an extended period to develop a subtle yeasty toastiness prior to bottling.
Viticulture:From the Nanya Vineyard near Paringa, South Australia. The grapes are grown on sandy loam over limestone soils.
