Winemaking
Grapes were carefully selected and hand picked across our three
chardonnay clones, and delicately whole bunch pressed. After a
period of settling the juice was racked to French oak barriques to
undergo a slow and complete primary fermentation. The resulting
wine was then enriched with a small addition of sweet liqueur
spirits and yeast and bottled. Bottles were stacked horizontally for
secondary fermentation, following the Traditional Method. The
action of yeast on sugar causes the secondary fermentation and the
resulting CO2 from this fermentation dissolves into the wine,
causing the wine to become effervescent The bottles were then left
to age and mature, for at least 3 years, before riddling and
disgorgement.
