Sparkling Chenin Blanc

The vines grow in Yallingup on sandy, gravelly loam over limestone, on north-facing slopes near the Southern Indian Ocean. The grapes were hand-harvested early to preserve acidity for the sparkling wine. The first fermentation took place in tank; the wine then spent 60 months on the lees before being disgorged and bottled. Stylistically, it shows fine bubbles, a creamy texture, Granny Smith apple, lime and taut acidity. With further ageing, the fruit aromas are expected to recede, giving way to spicy, talc-like notes.
