SEASON NOTES
Non-vintage is more accurately described as a multi-vintage blend. Rather than look for the expressions of multiple vintages the blend aims to bring out the best of each one, this allows the winemakers to keep a house style from year to year. This sparkling wine combines predominantly 9 different vintages.
Using parcels from each previous vintage dating back to 2013.It allows us to maintain a consistency of quality and provide a balance of vibrancy and
complexity.
WINEMAKING
The fruit was harvested at night to take
advantage of the cool temperatures. Free run
and pressing juices were fined and fermented
separately with neutral yeast. Fermentation
temperature ranged between 15-17.5°C over
two weeks to dryness. Aged predominantly
in stainless steel vessels for ten months
prior to secondary fermentation. Following
assemblage, the wines underwent secondary
fermentation in bottle and aged for 18
months on lees prior to disgorging.
TASTING NOTE
Eighteen months lees maturation brings
a creamy texture and biscuity complexity
to this zesty, lively Chardonnay dominant
sparkling. Attractive aromas of grilled
toast, butter and nutty cashews with subtle
honeyed notes to finish.

A very fine sparkler from the Great Southern region of Western Australia is not something we see every day. This non-vintage effort is a blend of 92% Chardonnay, 7% Pinot Noir and just 1% Pinot Meunier, which has spent a year and a half on lees. The mix of vintages is, we are told, “spanning the last decade”. A lemony hue, this is clean and refreshing, neatly balanced. The nose gives an attractive citrus and chalky character to the wine with lemons, a flick of honeycomb and florals in support. There is a touch of stonefruit on the palate along with some bitey acidity (if bitey is not a word, it should be). Good length on a fizz which should provide pleasure for at least the next four to five year. Rating: 92
