The fruit is harvested from two vineyard sites, both sheltered,
south facing slopes, 89 m.a.s.l with silty loam topsoil and silty
clay loam subsoil. The vines are planted 2.1m x 1m in a north
south row direction with a 6 wire VSP trellising system.

Grapes were hand harvested in the cool of the morning. The
bunches were hand sorted and whole-bunch pressed. Only
free run juice fermented in stainless steel was used in the
final blend to create its delicate taste and originality. 50% of
the base wines was allowed to go through malolactic
fermentation achieve the desired level acidity and balance
whilst also adding a creamy texture and depth. The final
blend with 3% reserve wine added to it was bottled where it
then underwent according to the traditional method second
fermentation in bottle. This is followed by bottle maturation
of approximately 36 months.

Tasting Notes

Rose gold in colour, this sparkling wine enchants with
prominent aromas of red apple, raspberry, peach,
watermelon, and pomegranate, delicately lifted by violet
undertones. The palate is seductively fresh and persistent,
with lively bubbles and a fine, soft mousse. Layers of
strawberries and cream, cherry, and sliced grapefruit linger
beautifully on the finish. Elegant yet expressive, it leaves the
taste buds tantalized with its vibrant fruit and refined
freshness.
