Shows aromas of apple, baked bread & honied caramel.

The palate is fresh and displays yellow apple, honey suckle and hints of lemon. The fine creamy mousse & mineral line is framed by toasted brioche derived from its extended time on lees.
The Mornington Peninsula had above-average rainfall, and an exceptionally windy spring decimated flowering and led to tiny bunch weights and yields.
Hand harvested and chilled overnight to retain the acid, the Chardonnay and Pinot Noir were whole bunch pressed to extract just the most delicate juice. Stabilized, settled and filtered, the wine was tiraged (the addition of 7g per litre sugar & yeast in the making of sparkling wine) November 2020 and disgorgement (entails removal of dead yeast cells) commenced in October 2024 (with an addition of 2g per litre dosage), therefore spending almost 4 years on lees allowing the development of flavours and a fine elegant bead from the extremely slow, natural breakdown of the yeast cells. This is the traditional French method of production which gives a rich creaminess to the finesse of the palat.
