- Inventory on the way
Named after Lisa Marie Gamboni, part of the Barry clan and even more stylish than Presley!
The finest, early picked organic Chardonnay fermented into a delicate fruoit focussed base wine and then aged in the bottle on yeast lees for several years to create an incredibly complex and crisp méthode traditionelle sparkling wine.
Sam Kim, Wine Orbit, 93 Points - “It's seductively complex and fabulously scented on the nose, showing golden apple, lemon peel, almond meal and yeasty characters. The palate is equally satisfying with excellent weight and richly textured mouthfeel, superbly supported by beautifully pitched acidity, finishing impressively long and expansive.”
Colour
Bright pale gold with a fine bead that sparkles.
Tasting Notes
The very fine bead (the tiny bubbles) is a result of extended maturation - only super premium sparkling are aged for such a long time. A classic méthode traditionelle sparkling with 2 years on lees has lovely boulangerie and sweet roasted nut aromas while the soft creamy, mid-palate with floral and citrus hints leads to a smooth, tapering tail that is delightfully crisp and clean.
Winemaking
The very first Chardonnay grapes of the season were picked in the cool of the early morning and pressed off skins and handled without sulphur dioxide to minimise phenolic extraction. The juice was fermented to dryness using traditional ‘Prise de Mousse’ yeast at 16°Celsius. MLF was inhibited, and the wine was stirred on lees for complexity and harmony for 6 months. Using the “méthode traditionelle”, the final assemblage was fermented in bottle and aged on yeast lees for 2 years, before being disgorged in December 2023.
