Most of the limey clay-loam soils of the Vinemount Ridge Vineyard are planted to Chardonnay, and that’s the fruit source of this impressive sparkling wine. It has restrained, refined fruits alongside non-fruit flavours which seem closer to stone than to yeast-derived autolytics. Pure, long and subtle.
