About this Wine

The grapes for this Blanc de Blancs were handpicked entirely from the Siwa vineyard - our home vineyard in Wonga Park. Made using the Méthode Traditionnelle, this wine is 100% Chardonnay, picked at perfect maturity on February 20th and 21st.

All batches were fermented naturally in seasoned French oak barrels for 8 months before being assembled and bottled for the secondary fermentation. After 42 months ageing on yeast lees, the wine was disgorged with a 4g/L liqueur addition.

The wine is handmade entirely on the Wonga Park property (Yarra Valley) ~ a rare occurrence for modern Australian sparkling wine.

The nose shows yeast-aged sparkling notes of toasted brioche and nuttiness that makes way for subtle floral tones with aromas of preserved lemon, red apple, marzipan and peach skin.

The palate shows yeast-derived nutty and brioche aged notes with citrus tones of lemon curd and cumquat. A rich, creamy texture and saline acidity combine with the fine mousse to create a beautifully balanced palate with a delectable finish.

Yarra Valley Wine

The Yarra Valley wine region is the most important area of wine production in Victoria today, and with its proximity to Melbourne, also the most visited in the state.

Yarra Valley is split into the Upper Yarra and the valley floor. The Upper Yarra is cooler in climate due to its elevation and coupled with younger, fertile, red soils produces most of the region’s notable varietals: Chardonnay and Pinot Noir. The valley floor is warmer and has predominantly grey soils with pockets of granite and limestone.

Pinot noir has long been considered a notoriously difficult variety to grow. However, the cool climate and longer growing seasons of the Yarra Valley allow the fruit to develop full flavoured and ripe character.

Chardonnay in the past has long been associated with a deep oily, buttery style that experiences full malolactic fermentation and great amounts of oak. This style has since fallen out of favour and wine makers in the Yarra Valley have capitalized on this trend to produce leaner, acid driven Chardonnays that are closer in style to those from Burgundy.
