Ancestral sparkling Chardonnay from the Adelaide Hills.
Light toasted brioche and lemons on the nose. Lemonade, rich foam, super fine and creamy bubbles, with a chalky lemon sorbet-esque finish.
Nerd Notes
Chardonnay from Kars Vineyard in Mylor in the Adelaide Hills, South Australia.
The site is a cool climate with a gentle north-facing slope.
Hand harvested grapes, direst pressed, and settled overnight before being racked to tank for fermentation, and bottled with about 20g/L residual sugar to finish.
Spent 65 month on lees, hand riddled and disgorged in August 2026 (with no dosage).
