Established in 1995 and situated in the heart of the Bellarine Peninsula, Leura Park Estate has firmly established itself as a renowned producer of premium cool maritime climate wines. Leura Park Estate wines are 100% estate grown, predominantly handpicked and crafted onsite in the state-of-the-art winery commissioned in 2010.
The fruit for their sparkling Blanc de Blanc was harvested with a combination of hand and machine techniques employed. On arrival to the winery the Chardonnay was pressed very gently to achieve a yield of only 500L/tonne which ensures optimal integrity and balance of the juice. The juice was then cold settled, racked and fermentation initiated using the classic sparkling yeast PDM. A cool fermentation followed with a portion of the juice fermenting in barrels for complexity. Following time on lees and completion of malolactic fermentation the wine then goes through secondary ferment and is then bottled post dosage
Colour: Pale straw.
Bouquet: Nougat and apple with hints of grilled nuts.
Palate: Creamy with a fine persistent bead, the wine shows great balance with the freshness of apple evident yet it delivers complexity in the mouth with elegant just baked bread characters and subtle yeast derived flavours.
Food: Apertif style but well matched to light fresh dishes of seafood.
