VINTAGE 

Fruit from sites located above 550m in the Lenswood and Piccadilly Valley regions of the Adelaide Hills. These sites consistently produce outstanding Pinot Noir and Chardonnay for sparkling wine. 2020 produced low yields due to cool weather at flowering. Mild conditions from January to April augured well for steady ripening and excellent flavour development across all varieties.

WINE MAKING

The fruit is all hand-picked and whole bunch pressed into tank for fermentation. Fermentation lasts around 12 days and the wines go through malolactic ferment over winter to soften the acids before blending. We tirage the wine by hand and store the bottles at 14`for a long consistent second ferment.

Each bottle is riddled and hand disgorged on site in our Longwood winery. The dosage liquor is crafted using a blend of base wines that have been aged for at least 12 months.
