Slow Wine Co Blanc de Blancs 2021

And now for something completely different. Sparkling wine from the orange region in NSW. A blanc de blancs – 100% Chardonnay – the fruit came from the Bantry Grove Vineyard which sits at an impressive 960 metres above sea level, which should ensure the climate is more than cool enough for quality fizz. The wine spent four years on lees prior to discouragement. Lemon/straw in colour, the wine opens with attractive toasty notes and hints of autolysis/yeast. We have notes of citrus, mandarins, hints of honeycomb and a touch of grapefruit. Richly flavoured, there is a fine line of acidity running the length. A lot to like here. Enjoy over the next four to six years.
