A blanc de blancs with fruit from Pemberton and Mount Barker. A superfine aperitif style with plenty of fine bead, a wave of citrus flavours and spice led by racy acidity. Refreshing? Absolutely and stopping at one glass, impossible.

Medium straw-yellow colour; straw-hay, toast and poached stone-fruit aromas, with a subtle but definite trace of cracked yeast character. Intense and very dry on the palate; refreshing and clean throughout. Medium length, and there's an appealing richness at its heart. A food-style sparkling wine that has strength and balance. It's amazing value. 01 JUN 2023 Drink 2023–2023

Blanc de blancs made from 100% chardonnay. Complex notes of blanched almonds, shortcrust pastry, lemons, dried apples and sea shells. It’s elegant and fresh with fine bubbles and vibrant acidity. Dry.

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.
