Charmat Blanc NV, Australian Alpine Sparkling - 6 Pack

Tasting Notes:

Aromas of white flowers, pears and white peaches. A very approachable and gentle expression on the palate. Wonderfully refreshing with balanced flavours of pure orchard fruits and a mineral undertone. Pair with cured meats or smoked salmon.

Winemaker's Notes:

Most winemakers of Charmat Blanc are hung up on balancing levels of sugar and acidity, whereas I believe the focus of making a stellar Charmat Blancs should be on the carbonation. The carbonation of wine significantly affects the delivery of its complex flavours - so you see, getting the bubbles right means everything! When making our Charmat Blanc, I don't focus on the sugar levels - I actually leave a bit of sugar in there as anything too dry will feel harsh, instead, I strive for a soft mousse to provide a soothing and pleasant drinking experience. - Lilian Carter

Winemaking:

Produced from vines planted in Australia's alpine country, this wine is produced with every intention of rivalling those of its Italian origin. Made under the classic Charmat method, this expression of Glera carries a soft mousse that is incredibly expansive of flavour, which softly pops.
