Brut Reserve
The 2021 vintage marks a stellar year for our vineyard, perfectly positioned on a sheltered, south-facing slope that capitalised on the exceptional conditions of the season. Benefiting from a challenging yet fruitful cold and wet winter that delayed bud burst, followed by ideal conditions at flowering and a record-breaking long summer, our vines yielded fruit of outstanding quality.
Our winemaking process, tailored to enhance the unique characteristics of the 2021 harvest, involved hand-harvesting grapes in the cool of the morning, followed by a combination of stainless steel and French oak barrel fermentation. This approach, along with a careful blend including 6% reserve wine and a patient 30-month bottle maturation, has resulted in a wine that embodies the essence of the vintage. It presents a vibrant intensity, balanced acidity, and a symphony of green apple, berry, and subtle brioche notes, culminating in a tangy finish with a fresh floral aftertaste.
