While our\u003cbr\u003eprimary focus remains single-site, single-vintage wines that\u003cbr\u003ecapture the individuality of each growing season, our extensive\u003cbr\u003elibrary of barrel-aged reserve wines has allowed us to create a\u003cbr\u003esparkling wine that reflects both place and house style. Driven\u003cbr\u003eby Chardonnay for its finesse, purity, and exceptional ageing\u003cbr\u003epotential, this cuvée blends seven carefully selected\u003cbr\u003ecomponents across four vintages. Recent vintages contribute\u003cbr\u003efreshness, fruit, and vibrancy, while older reserve wines add\u003cbr\u003elayered complexity, texture, and depth. After 24 months on\u003cbr\u003elees, the wine is already showing beautifully, balancing\u003cbr\u003eyouthful energy with developed sophistication. The final blend\u003cbr\u003eis meticulously assembled to convey not only a 360º view of\u003cbr\u003eestate but also the soul of Leonardslee—focused, precise, and\u003cbr\u003egreater than the sum of its parts.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eTASTING NOTES\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eFresh and bright on the nose, this sparkling reveals inviting\u003cbr\u003earomas of lemon, pear, orange blossom, warm brioche, and\u003cbr\u003esubtle nuttiness.
