2024 Blanc de Blancs

Vineyard - Chardonnay is selected from Block 7b of David Lloyd’s Adelaide Hills Estate on The Range (Kuitpo) as the backbone of this Blanc de Blancs.

Winemaking - A great vintage for sparkling wines in the Adelaide Hills. A cool vintage lead to great flavour development at low baumes whilst retaining great acidity. Fruit from David vineyard was selectively picked then crushed and gently airbag pressed with just the freerun juice being used for this Sparkling. Once the juice was settled a long, cool ferment took place using a specific sparkling yeast which helped to maintain all the lovely notes and aromas. Produced using the Charmat method, secondary fermentation occurred in a high-pressure sparkling tank over 4 weeks capturing the bubbles. Vegan friendly

Tasting note - Lifted aromas of white blossom and citrus, the palate is full of lovely white peach, green pear, granny smith apple with a burst of fresh lemon. A fresh, crisp finish makes this a delightful sparkling wine for all occasions. Best enjoyed well chilled.

Food Suggestions – A lovely aperitif with its fresh citrus backbone making it a perfect accompaniment to delicate fish such as King George Whiting.
