The Blanc de Blanc spent 7 years on lees, promoting complexity and texture before being riddled, disgorged, and packaged onsite at our Granton estate winery. Made in a brut style, the dosage is low with approximately 5 grams per litre. Before release the wine spends over a year on cork, something that we know is vital for the wine to come together after disgorgement in September 2023.
"The 2016 Blanc de Blanc me´thode traditionnelle sparkling wine is 100% Chardonnay and has a fine bead. Pale yellow in colour the wine has notes of lemon, honeysuckle and custard apple with an underlying toasty element which presents as butter pastries - freshly baked croissant, almond danish, and caramelised apple galette. The extensive time on lees has developed a toasty and mature palate with delicious notes of creme caramel, cre`me d’amande and apple tarte tatin. The finish is long, rich and delicatable with a supple mousse." Stefano Lubiana
