The 2019 growing season was warm and shortened; due to higher temperatures the vines ripened the fruit earlier than normal.
With the warmer season, the fruit was harvested slightly earlier to retain the natural acidity in the fruit. The Blanc de Blancs is harvested from our higher-yielding chardonnay blocks of 45 and 46 which contributes to its delicate fruit flavours and minerality. The fruit is picked in the middle of the night when temperatures are at their lowest and pressed immediately while allowing the ingress of oxygen passively into the juice to naturally oxidise and fine out the phenolics from the pressing process. Fermentation was undertaken at low temperatures in stainless steel and small format oak barrels before 25% underwent malolactic fermentation in barrel prior to blending and tirage.
Pair with freshly shucked oysters.

Classy from the start with gorgeous lemony fruit, clotted cream accents and mealy undertones. It has excellent flavour intensity, setting it apart from other wines at this price. It makes a good aperitif with its generous mid-palate flavour and crisp finish.
