Howard Park’s Jeté Premier Brut NV is crafted in the traditional method from Chardonnay, Pinot Noir and Meunier sourced from cool-climate vineyards across Western Australia’s southern wine regions, predominantly Great Southern and Pemberton. Hand-harvested fruit is whole-bunch pressed, with only the finest free-run juice retained before fermentation in a combination of stainless steel and French oak, while selected parcels undergo malolactic fermentation to enhance texture and complexity. Extended lees ageing prior to disgorgement contributes fine mousse, savoury depth and textural richness, balanced by vibrant acidity and mineral precision.
NV
The current disgorgement is based on the 2023 vintage, with reserve wine selected to create a blend of around 50% Pinot Noir with 45% Chardonnay and the remainder Meunier. It has been released in batches with a minimum or 22 months on lees, and a dosage of 2.5g/L.
“This is largely an equal blend of pinot and chardonnay with just 5% pinot meunier so it’s the three champagne varieties. The baseline for this was the ’23 vintage, which was a good one. And the wine had about 22 months on lees, allowing it to pick up some nice subtle complexity and textural richness. Light lemony brioche on the nose and then a palate that is fine, elegant and well-defined. Long, precise crisp finish. Excellent wine.” 94 points, Ray Jordan, Ray Jordan Wine
“Pale colour. Attractive, complex, light toasty, roasted almond, marzipan, lemon curd aromas with creamy notes. Sweet lemon curd, grapefruit, marzipan flavours, some light tonic water toasty notes, attractive creamy bubbles, and fresh quartz acidity. Finishes minerally and long. Lovely complexity and persistency.” 95 Points, Andrew Caillard, Australian Vintage Journal
