About the wine
Single vineyard, Organic, Method traditional sparkling?
- The grapes have been sourced from Ben’s own organic vineyard in Quindalup, Margaret River. Made from a single block of Chenin Blanc, the grapes are picked early to retain the flavour required for the style.
- This Sparkling Chenin Blanc is traditionally made, bottle fermented sparkling wine, using traditional techniques and fermented on lees for 14 months prior to bottling.
- It’s strong acid line giving the wine great structure & a lengthy finish.This wine is lovely and dry. There is a subtle biscuit flavour at the moment, but will fill out over time, giving even more mouthfeel. But right now its crisp, zippy and when chilled would be the perfect foil to a plate of oysters on a warm afternoon.
Best before
We encourage all angels to drink our wines as quickly!! But for those with patience and willpower this sparkling will age gracefully over the next 2 - 8 years.
Serving advice
This wine is perfect companion to chill with on a humid afternoon, along with a handful of friends and a dozen oysters.
Food match
A perfect apertif wine before any meal (including brunch!) but a winner with fresh fish or salt & pepper squid.
