2019 Chardonnay, Yarra Valley, Victoria
Crisp and elegant with citrus and brioche notes, ideal with oysters or fresh seafood
Made exclusively from Chardonnay using the traditional method, this sparkling was harvested early for freshness, whole-bunch pressed for purity and elegance, and underwent both primary and secondary fermentation. It spent 30 months on lees before further ageing under cork, building depth, complexity, and creamy texture.
The 2019 season in the Yarra Valley began with a damp late spring followed by a warm, dry summer, producing Chardonnay with vibrant acidity, concentrated flavours, and exceptional balance. These ideal conditions allowed fruit to be harvested early with perfect freshness, essential for crafting premium sparkling wine.
