Tasting Notes

Crafted in the traditional Méthode Traditionnelle from 100% Riesling and matured on lees for two years, this sparkling wine displays elegant notes of toasted brioche, creamy citrus and fresh shortbread. The palate is vibrant and generous, with fine bubbles, lively acidity and a long, refreshing finish where the purity of Riesling shines through.

Vineyard

Fruit is sourced from a local Mount Barker vineyard in the Great Southern region of Western Australia. The cool climate and ancient gravelly loam soils encourage slow ripening, allowing the grapes to develop exceptional flavour intensity, natural acidity and varietal expression. Harvest typically takes place from mid-March through to late April.

Vintage Comments

Following several dry seasons, 2021 returned to a more traditional and fast-paced vintage. Significant rainfall through spring and summer, combined with warm temperatures and persistent easterly winds, created challenging growing conditions. The result was fruit with impressive concentration and flavour, producing wines of depth, intensity and balance.

Winemaking

The Riesling was harvested and gently pressed before cool fermentation in stainless steel to preserve its bright aromatics and freshness. The base wine was then produced using the traditional Méthode Traditionnelle, undergoing secondary fermentation in bottle and spending two years on lees to build texture, complexity and a refined mousse. The finished wine combines creamy autolytic characters with vibrant citrus fruit and a crisp, dry finish, resulting in an elegant and highly drinkable sparkling Riesling.
