The Langhorne Creek estate grown grapes were delicately pressed off to avoid oxidation, hard phenolics and to keep a lovely subtle colour. The juice then went through cool fermentation over 14 days to retain delicate fruit flavours. The final assemblage of this sparkling used 7% of the extended lees contact chardonnay along with 7% of barrel fermented chardonnay. Each of these parcels add complexity and extra richness to compliment the ripe strawberry flavours. The maritime influence at our Langhorne Creek vineyard that is created by the afternoon sea breezes allows fruit flavours to evolve without excessive sugar production. The limestone based soils create wines of power and elegance with great varietal character. This vineyard is ideal for precision control over water use on the vines and known to provide more structural wines.
