Kellybrook Blanc de Blancs 2020

The grapes for this Blanc de Blancs were handpicked entirely from the Siwa vineyard – our home vineyard in Wonga Park. Made using the Mthode Traditionnelle, this wine is 100% Chardonnay, picked at perfect maturity on February 20th and 21st.

All batches were fermented naturally in seasoned French oak barrels for 8 months before being assembled and bottled for the secondary fermentation. After 42 months ageing on yeast lees, the wine was disgorged with a 4g/L liqueur addition.

The wine is handmade entirely on the Wonga Park property (Yarra Valley) ~ a rare occurrence for modern Australian sparkling wine.

The nose shows yeast-aged sparkling notes of toasted brioche and nuttiness that makes way for subtle floral tones with aromas of preserved lemon, red apple, marzipan and peach skin.

The palate shows yeast-derived nutty and brioche aged notes with citrus tones of lemon curd and cumquat. A rich, creamy texture and saline acidity combine with the fine mousse to create a beautifully balanced palate with a delectable finish.
