(2024) A Chardonnay-based sparkling wine sourced from vineyards in Pemberton and Margaret River, Western Australia. A dosage of just 6g/l gives this a poised, precise character. Lemon dominates the nose, but not too sharply, a biscuity background softening the picture. Super fresh and nicely balanced, this plays out in very pleasing fashion on the palate, ripe orchard fruit and citrus pure into the finish.
(2015) 13% abv. Produced by Kleine Zalze, this is a blend of Shiraz (60%), Cabernet Sauvignon and Pinotage. It has a medium cherry colour and pleasing nose of gentle, lightly creamy summer berries. On the palate it is similarly soft and approachable, with peaches and cream, a touch of orangey acidity, and great commercial appeal. Very well done.
