Description
Australia is renowned for being home to some of the world's most beautiful beaches and they are an intrinsic part of our community and lifestyle. Inspired by our famous coastline, this bottle fermented sparkling wine has spent time on lees which produces elegant strawberry aromas and a lively, fresh, creamy feel on the palate.
Dunes Sparkling has a lifted delicate nose with fresh lemon zest and strawberries and cream. The palate is fruit driven and fresh, with added layers of cream and softness from the secondary fermentation and time on tirage lees. This wine is fresh and balanced, with lingering flavours and great mouthfeel.
The fruit is machined picked at night to ensure cooler temperatures and to retain fruit aromatics. On arrival at the winery the fruit is gently crushed and pressed to minimise phenolics and maximise fruit flavour and delicacy. All wines undergo 100% malolactic fermentation and remain on lees until required for blending and stabilising. The final base wine components are then bottle fermented and spend a short period on tirage lees providing further yeast complexity in the final wine. Individual base wine components are then carefully selected for the final blend prior to bottling
