About this wine
Handpicked Traditional Method NV Sparkling Cuvee is crafted from equal parts Chardonnay and Pinot Noir, sourced from two organically certified vineyards in Tasmania's Tamar Valley: Native Point, with its warm north-facing slopes, and Auburn Road, whose weathered basalt soils bring mineral complexity. Blended from selected vintages with a component of oaked reserve wine for added depth, the wine undergoes traditional secondary fermentation in bottle, then rests on lees for 20 months to develop its fine mousse and layered character.
The result is richly textured, with brioche and toasted notes from the lees ageing, delicate red fruits from the Pinot Noir, and lemon with a whisper of oyster shell from the Chardonnay. Fresh acidity and an abundant fine mousse carry the wine to a clean, satisfying finish.
