About This Wine

The superb and highly original Chalmers Felicitas is a traditional method sparkling wine that takes its name from the Roman goddess of fertility, good luck and happiness. Made from 100% hand-picked Fiano grown at an elevation of 150 – 170m on the red Cambrian soils of the family’s vineyard in Heathcote, it spends more than three years on lees.

Fiano is a star performer in the Heathcote vineyard with lovely natural acidity which means, even in the warm conditions of the region, it can make sparkling wine with finesse, definition and freshness, without the need for acid or sugar adjustment (this wine has zero dosage) in the winemaking – a true sign that the grape is a great match for the site.

The 2019 Felicitas is a complex and driven style of sparkling, displaying layered aromas of brioche, pistachio and wild rocket alongside floral and syrup cake notes, with a persistent bead and a lifted, fresh finish. Perfect with aged parmesan!

Heathcote Wines

The Heathcote wine region in central Victoria is well known for its excellent red wines, most notably Shiraz. Heathcote reds are defined by their inky depth of colour, and deep, dark complex fruit flavours. This is combined with well balanced tannins and acid that help to give the wines great cellaring potential.

All this is made possible by the terroir. The Heathcote region sits at between 160m and 380m elevation with a temperate climate of even rainfall. The soils are rich in calcium red soils made up of “greenstone”. These soils are prized for their water retention capabilities allowing them to drain freely but still hold enough water throughout the growing season. The grapes that result are small and concentred which in turn make rich concentrated wines.
