Vineyards and Vintage Conditions

The Cuvée Brut NV is a blend of Chardonnay and Pinot Noir grapes sourced from cool-climate vineyards in South Australia. The cool microclimates contribute to the development of fresh acidity and delicate fruit flavours, essential for crafting a refined sparkling wine.

Winemaking

The grapes were harvested at optimal ripeness and underwent traditional sparkling wine production methods. The wine was bottle-fermented, allowing for extended lees contact, which imparts complexity and a fine mousse. This method enhances the wine's texture and contributes to its crisp, clean finish.

Tasting Notes

• Aroma: Fresh citrus notes of lemon and lime, complemented by hints of green apple and subtle floral nuances

• Palate: Crisp and refreshing, with flavours of green apple and citrus zest, leading to a clean, mineral-driven finish

Food Pairing
