2022 Blue Pyrenees Vintage Brut

See
A medium yellow straw with faint pink hues and a fine and persistent bead.

Smell
A burst of red apple, strawberry and yellow peach, with grilled cashew nut and crusty bread yeast autolysis notes.

Taste
Initially the entry is fine and soft, with crisp and lively fruit acidity shaping and driving the palate. This is impeccably balanced by carefully selected dosage liqueur of just 6g/L of sugar. Over two years of maturation on yeast in our underground cellars, delivers a creamy and savoury middle palate and a savoury and nutty persistent finish.

Winemaking Notes
True to our French heritage, all Blue Pyrenees sparkling wines are created using the traditional “Méthode champenoise” technique, where the second fermentation and subsequent maturation on yeast occur in bottle. The 2022 version of our hallmark Vintage Brut style is a carefully selected assemblage of the three classic traditional method sparkling varieties: Chardonnay, Pinot Noir and Pinot Meunier. After weeks of tasting and blending, the winemakers assembled a blend from our Estate owned vineyards and included a small parcel from the very cool Macedon Ranges to add some finesse and a crisp acid line to our generous and complex apéritif style.
