This non-vintage blend is sourced from the O'Leary family vineyards in the Adelaide Hills. A cool climate region which arguably produces some of Australia's best Chardonnay and Pinot Noir, the soil profile is brown loam with limestone and slate schist, contributing to good drainage and moderate vigour. The elevation of the Adelaide Hills consistently offers a natural balanced acidity to this single vineyard wine.

Our 'Hurtle' Sparkling Chardonnay Pinot Noir is a blend of hand-selected wines which spend an average of 58 months on yeast lees. Premium fruit was hand-picked in the cool of the morning and transported to the winery, gently pressed and put to ferment. Following the primary fermentation, the base wine is tiraged, where it undergoes a secondary fermentation in bottle. This allows the wine to complex and develop a fantastic yeast autolysis character and produce a delicate bead.
