In the vineyard
The immaculate Viognier vineyards used in this premium niche sparkling wine are east west facing and vertically shoot positioned to ensure minimal direct sun exposure to the bunches. The vines are grown in oakleaf and clovelly soils and are irrigated according to soil moisture and leaf water potential requirements.
Ageing
The specially selected grapes for this wine were hand picked on 12th January, 2015 and taken from a greener portion of the vineyard to encourage more neutral initial flavours and to allow for the full expression of the secondary ferment flavours.
