Aged for 6 months on primary lees and a further 17 months in bottle following secondary fermentation, this wine was disgorged in September of 2022 with no sugar dosage; the same wine was used to top the bottles. Only 600 bottles produced. The ripeness of the vintage allows this wine to be finished fully dry without overpowering acidity. Clear and golden with a vigorous mousse, this wine has aromas of granny smith apple, pear, pineapple, and freshly milled grain. The palate is full and soft, with acidity to carry the long, complex finish which adds nuttiness and a slight brioche note to the fruit aromas.

Residual Sugar: 0.4 g/L

This traditionally made sparkling wine from the Hughes Vineyard in the Lincoln Lakeshore sub-appellation is a blend of 60% Pinot Noir and 40% Chardonnay. It spent 18 months on the lees and no sugar was added in the dosage. Only 600 bottles, all bottled by hand, were made. It has an elegant, persistent bead in the glass with a nose of creamy pear, fresh lemon, rich apple, biscuit, and salinity. It’s bright and vibrant on the palate with a rich and creamy texture, apple/pear notes, flinty/chalky notes and lovely freshness and vigour driving through the finessed finish.
