Hunter Valley
The Story
Nestled in the Hunter Valley, the grapes for our Sparkling Chardonnay are grown on the historic Steven vineyard. Using the traditional method, this wine undergoes a metamorphosis, acquiring the bubbly charm reminiscent of Champagne.
The Wine
Our Sparkling Chardonnay is made only in great vintages & laid down on lees for a further 12 months after bottling to further add layers of biscuity notes. The fine structure and natural acidity give the wine the potential to age for 5-10 years.
The Vintage
Low yields, small bunches and exceptional fruit profile were the hallmarks of the 2021 vintage. A good growing and picking season resulted in high quality fruit coming off our vineyards.

The Match
Our 2021 Sparkling Chardonnay can match a variety of cuisines, or simply be enjoyed as an aperitif! Love seafood? Pair with oysters, scallops, prawns and lobster. Love a snack? Try salted potato chips and soft & creamy cheeses. Love to indulge? Go for gold with fried chicken!
