PALATE

Palate is reflective of the nose displaying apple strawberry with hints of peach. A fine mousse & balanced acidity rounds out the soft finish.

VINTAGE

Average rainfall through winter maintained good soil moisture. We experienced some cold fronts through spring which were detrimental during flowering. As a result, yields were lower than average. However, we had some warm weather through summer resulting in incredibly concentrated and powerful wines with great acidity.

WINEMAKING

This cool climate site is ideal for producing sparkling wine. The grapes were whole bunch pressed in an airbag press on a gentle pressing cycle to minimise phenolic extraction. The juice was fermented in stainless steel tanks. The wine was triaged, bottled in August 2022 with the finished alcohol after secondary fermentation at 11.5%. The wine spent 11 months on yeast lees prior to disgorgement in September 2023.
