The cool climate ripens the grapes slowly, retaining acidity and vitality; wild ferments add complexity; maturation in large barrels give us texture; while the French oak seasons, contributing to the aroma and flavour.
Chardonnay fruit for this sparkling wine comes from the same vineyard as we use for the highly awarded Origine Chardonnay - a mature site in the Upper Yarra Valley with volcanic red soils on a steep, fast-draining slope at a relatively high altitude of 350m.
Showcasing the best of what Yarra Valley Cabernet Sauvignon can achieve - poise, subtle detail and finesse. Juicy and fresh this is a wine with personality and huge approachability at such a young age.
