Daosa Blanc de Blancs Late Disgorged 2017

This is a single vineyard wine from the team’s Chardonnay vineyard at Summerton in the sub-region of the Piccadilly Valley in the Adelaide Hills. The vineyard was planted around thirty years ago. After the initial fermentation, the wine stayed in barrel for a further eight months for malolactic. The wine spent ninety months on lees, prior to disgorging in June this year. Dosage is just four grams per litre. Deep straw in colour, the nose gives notes of wet slate, citrus, toast and vegemite, spices and there is a minerally support system. Finally balanced, it is already exhibiting good complexity, with serious length. So much to like here. Enjoy this over the next four years.
