"Sophisticated and delicate, this is the bargain bubbles that we've all been wishing for for years. Extended lees contact has blessed it with great texture and restraint, with earthy, yeasty complexity riding under its complex lemon and dried fruit flavours." - Tyson Stelzer, Wine 100 WBM, May 2009
Appearance
Pale colour with green tinges.
Bouquet
Showing subtle biscuit-like aromas with citrus and white pear characters.
Palate
Soft creamy textured palate with length and drinkability.
Vintage Conditions
Vineyards are selected for fruit subtlty and finesse. On the valley floor these are generally East through to South facing slopes and in the upper Yarra the aspect is not so critical.
Winemaking
Fruit is whole bunch pressed to avoid colour and phenolic pickup. The juice is racked to barrel and tank and fermented at warm temperatures to ‘blow off’ the fruitiness. The wine is allowed to complete natural malo lactic fermentation and sits on lees for 14 months before secondary fermentation and bottling.
Cellaring
Made for immediate enjoyment
Suggested Cuisine
Try with cured salmon
