The first Charmat style sparkling from the Stonebridge vineyard.
Fresh and bright, from the classic Chardonnay grape variety grown on the Stonebridge estate and harvested mid-September 2021 after an excellent season for stylish sparkling wine. To add complexity, depth and roundness to the palate, 15% of the wine is fermented in French oak barrels. Crisp and naturally well-balanced acidity brings the wine an irresistible freshness and vitality!
Partially wild fermented in French oak barrels.
Single Vineyard. Vegan Friendly.

This is the first sparkling wine from Stonebridge, a 100% Chardonnay from the estate vineyard made in the charmat method. It’s wild fermented and a small portion of the wine spent four months in French oak to add complexity and texture. It’s a nifty charmat with a vigorous bubble in the glass to go with pear, citrus, lemon curd, bright apple, and subtle toasty notes. The toasty/flinty accents are amplified on the palate and integrate well with the pear/apple fruits, lemon zest and vibrant, bubbly finish. A delightful sparkling wine.
