James Suckling

Citrus-driven aromas of lemon peel, grapefruit, oyster shell, white orchard fruits and sourdough bread. The palate is light-bodied with a finely beaded mousse and a generous yet restrained texture, with lovely autolytic notes and a fruit-driven finish. A new release predominantly from the 2023 vintage, disgorged April 2025 with 2 g/L dosage after 18 months tirage. 100% chardonnay.

If you were going to pick a region to make super Blanc de Blancs sparkling wine then the Great Southern would have to be one of your go to regions thanks to its mix of both a cool climate and beautifully pristine environment which give superb purity of Chardonnay fruit. Mid straw in colour with a dusting of gold, it opens with beautifully elegant and precise aromas, from nectarine to florals and citrus well balanced with just cooked pastry bottle age influences. The palate is then bright, fresh and vibrant with a light, silky touch and crisp acid backbone before opening up to a soft finish accented by touches of buttered toast. A delicious aperitif, at any time of the day.

This is a blanc de blancs style made from 100% chardonnay. Has a nice crunchy lemon rind and citrus aroma that rolls with distinctive biscuit bready nuances. The palate is light and crisp with a very complete and pleasing mouth feel. There is texture but there is a fine linear feel that makes it such a refined elegant wine.

A delightful sparkling wine from chardonnay. It’s delicate but at the same time there is excellent flavour intensity through a complete and integrated middle palate. Lifted citrus and lemony characters with a distinctive biscuit edge on the finish. Clean crisp finish.

The entire Jeté range offers excellent fizz with prices to match. This is full of white peach and citrus, ginger spice and yeasty bread-biscuit flavours. It has some complexity, it’s refreshing, and it finishes rather zingy and super dry. Nice one.

Huon Hooke - The Real Review

Medium to full yellow colour, seemingly displaying some age (from reserve wine?). There is appealing toastiness and a degree of matured character, some lees-aged complexity, while the palate is quite intense and persistent, the finish firm and dry. The acid is a trifle strident. It has good mouth-filling properties over and above its station. Great value for money! (The back-label says it's a blanc de blancs)

Huon Hooke - The Real Review

Light to medium colour, bright yellow, with a good collar of foam. The aroma is fresh and clean, showing some subtle dried fruit and dried herb notes and the palate soft and full, round and ample with generosity and attractive texture, if not great complexity. It finishes clean, dry and refreshing. Lovely wine.

Méthode traditionnelle. Blanc de blancs. Fine and saline with plenty of citrus curd, florals and chalk. The palate is cleansing and plump, the dosage coming through on the finish. A crowd-pleasing, satisfying sparkling.
