2019 Blanc de Blancs

Grape/s: 100% Chardonnay

GI: Tasmania

Site: Single vineyard (Tashinga, Coal River valley)

Vintage notes: A vintage with all sorts of everything from bushfires to frosts and rain during flowering, with drought conditions on the east coast. Overall, however, conditions were drier than usual, and both the quality and quantity of grape yields were excellent.

Vineyard notes: This tiny vineyard is nestled on the flanks of Mt Rumney. The elevation of 210m above sea level ensures mild daytime and cool night temperatures throughout the growing season

 Winemaking:  Hand harvested fruit, whole bunch pressed. Spontaneous primary fermentations were conducted in oak barriques.  The second ferment (tirage) in the bottle was achieved using reserved juice and a commercial prisse de mousse. Malolactic fermentation (MLF) was blocked by use of low temperature tirage and storage. Six years on lees (disgorged July-August 2025), 2 g/L dosage, TA 8.3 g/L, pH 3.03. Vegan-friendly.

Tasting Note: Palest green-gold in hue. Complex, highly structured & layered with a vibrant line of acid resolved in a crisp, dry lingering finish. Lime zest & confectionary notes open out to crisp white peach & lemon curd with accents of flint & oyster shell. The palate zesty, long, and satisfying with a dry. Incredibly moreish. Pair with any seafood.
