WINEMAKING

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 2022 and disgorgement (entails removal of dead yeast cells) commenced in October 2025 spending almost 3 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 palate.
