Previous vintages were known as the ‘Yiannis’. 100% Chardonnay is hand-picked, crushed and destemmed. In order to produce a sparkling with core purity and aromatics, the wine is inoculated with IOC (Champagne) yeast and fermented in steel. Seeing no oak treatment, this wine achieves its savoury balance and texture entirely through lees aging. It is disgorged in small batches with 7.5g/L dosage, guaranteeing freshness and a beautifully dry finish in every bottling.

A fresh and vibrant Yarra Valley Blanc de Blanc displaying aromas of lemon marmalade and toast, with a lively palate of green apple, feijoa and citrus. Crisp, elegant and refreshing with excellent balance and persistence.

“This is seductively expressed on the nose, showing golden apple, lemon sorbet, oatmeal, and yeasty notes, leading to a richly textured palate exhibiting outstanding weight and depth. It’s mouthfilling and seamless with beautifully pitched acidity, offering excellent drinking.” 96 Points, Sam Kim, Wine Orbit
