The Craftsmanship Behind the Bubbles

The 2023 Méthode Traditionnelle Sparkling is crafted using the traditional method, the same process used for creating the finest Champagnes. This single vineyard Méthode Traditionnelle Sparkling was handcrafted from selected clones of Chardonnay (80%) and Pinot Noir (20%) grown on our cool climate vineyard in Healesville.This meticulous approach involves secondary fermentation in the bottle, allowing the wine to develop its signature fine bubbles and complex flavours over time. Our winemaking team has carefully monitored each step to ensure a sparkling wine that reflects our commitment to quality and tradition.

Tasting Notes

Ideal as an apertif or a perfectway to celebrate.
