WINEMAKING NOTES
The grapes for this Blanc de Blancs were handpicked on February 10 from the Siwa vineyard in Wonga Park. The blend is composed of 100% Chardonnay. After being refrigerated overnight, the grapes were diligently whole bunch pressed.
All batches were fermented naturally in well seasoned French oak puncheons for 8 months before being assembled and bottled for the secondary fermentation. After 35 months on yeast lees, the wine was hand riddled and disgorged with a 7g/L liqueur addition. This maturation period brings layers of complexity and texture to the wine and enables the bubbles to form a delicious mousse-like bead in the wine.
The wine is handmade entirely on the Wonga Park property, a rare occurrence for modern Australian sparkling wine.
