2016 St Huberts Sparkling Rose - Gold December Shipment
First made in 2015, St Huberts Sparkling Rose is adding some fun to our “serious sparkling” range. A single block wine from the Solitude vineyard in the Upper Yarra Valley. Being a Blanc de Noir, Pinot Noir is the dominant variety, and along with this comes the fruit power and mid palate. Handpicked fruit was gently whole bunch pressed, and the base wine was fermented in its bottle in the “traditionnelle” method. The wine has over five years on lees prior to disgorging, then some time on cork before release.
The base wine was fermented in stainless steel, prior to bottle fermentation. The wine spent over 5 years on lees in bottle.
Drink now to enjoy vibrant varietal flavours, or allow depth and complexity to grow over the next five to ten years or so.
