Winemakers Comments: A dry spring preceded and hot summer in The Riverland, which meant vintage was short, sharp and hectic! Whilst not without its challenges, the warm conditions meant that the hardy, heat tolerant Southern Italian varieties that we work with proved their worth, developing primary fruit depth whilst holding natural acidity well. After several years of cooler conditions, the 2025 wines are punchier than recent vintages, defined by bolder flavors without sacrificing thirst slaking drinkability.
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: Fruit forward but not as tropical as previous vintages – more of a golden delicious apple skin, dry tart pear vibe, with that juicy citrus backbone. Spritzy lemonade icepole in wine format, delicious as ever,
Aormas: apple skin, dry tart pear vibe, citrus
