Winemakers Comments: Vintage 2024 was just about the perfect vintage. Warm but not too hot, and bone dry during the growing season, was welcome change from the past couple of years, allowing the fruit to ripen steadily. Meanwhile, cool nights kept acids and freshness high. With decent yields across the board, we had flexibility in our winemaking, selecting the best parcels and blending to make a suite of wines we are super stoked with, and excited to share with the world.
Fermented in stainless steel with wild vineyard yeast, the wine was bottled under crown seal to finish ferment, resulting in the Petillant Naturel, lightly sparkling style. The Sherwood Estate in Loxton North, owned by the Proud family, has the only planting of Bianco d’Alessano in Australia – a late ripening, aromatic variety that holds acid beautifully and is completely at home in the hot dry Riverland climate.
Style/Palate: Petillant Naturel style. Vibrant yellow in the glass, with
pithy bubbly tingle which is so fun to drink. Boozy Schweppes bitter lemon, with length and utter drinkability
Aormas: Meyer lemon curd and green apple
Food Pairing : perfect for brunch, summer picnic in the park, sunset in the porch or with freshly shucked oysters.
Award/Score : Wine Front – 91 point (2022 Vintage)
