Appearance
Pale yellow in colour
Bouquet
Clean, fresh fruit and slightly floral aromas with underlying yeasty, bread dough notes giving complexity.
Palate
The fine bubbles provide a creamy texture, while the delicate acidity balances the fresh fruit
Winemaking
Fruit was sourced from selected vineyards in the Riverina and King Valley. It was harvested in early January which allowed the fruit to retain its natural acidity important for sparkling wine. The Chardonnay and Pinot Noir are picked in the cool of the night to help retain freshness, with the Pinot component handled oxidatively to help lower the red colour pigments. Both Chardonnay and Pinot Noir are fermented warm to give complexity. The blend is then run through secondary fermentation in tank - Charmat to add bubbles and creamy texture.

Best mousse; the best of the three Emeri Sparklings, which should come as no suprise; good balance to the stone fruit and citrus flavours; clean, dry finish.
