The grapes come from a cool-climate vineyard in the Elgin Valley, where the long ripening period allows pronounced natural acidity to develop. The wine is made according to the Méthode Cap Classique: the base wine is fermented with wild yeast in French oak, after which the sparkling wine matures on the lees in bottle for around two years. Stylistically, it shows fine, creamy bubbles, brioche, biscuit, toasted almonds, ripe stone fruit, green apple and a firm mineral finish.
