DESCRIPTION
Tasting Notes
Pale yellow/straw, green hues. Granny smith apples with a citrus fruit lift.
Wine Making
The grapes were harvested in mid March in the cool of the early morning and pressed straight off skins. The juice was then fermented under strict temperature control. Bottled without any oak maturation to retain the fresh lively fruit aromas and flavours. Tiraged under crown seal and refermented in this bottle to achieve a beautiful effervescence and then dosaged in late February 2020.
Cellaring
Typically Italian in style our 2019 Sparkling White has been made with food and fun in mind. Enjoy it now in its youth. It’s best not to cellar this bottle. Enjoy now with friends as a party starter, served well chilled on its own as the perfect aperitif.

Little known in Australia, Trebbiano is the most widely planted grape in Italy, where it is used in a wide range of regional wines and styles. The most distinctive features of this grape are its long ripening period and its ability to retain high acid levels to maturity. These features make it a perfect match for our new Sparkling White. |
