PALATE

A fruit driven palate of wild berries, peach, and lemon sherbet. A fine mousse and balanced acidity round out the soft finish.

VINTAGE

Some challenging weather conditions around flowering reduced the fruit set and resulting yields. Although temperatures across the ripening period were slightly higher than average the day time temperatures were cooler. This allowed for an extended ripening period and together with low yields gives the wine great minerality drive and finesse while maintaining the 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 2023 with the finished alcohol after secondary fermentation at 11%. The wine spent 14 months on yeast lees prior to disgorgement in October 2023.
