Josef Chromy Sparkling Cuvee

Whole bunches of hand-picked fruit are
gently pressed to ensure delicate
flavours and minimal phenolic pick up.
The alcoholic fermentation takes place
in stainless steel tanks, and malolactic
fermentation is arrested to retain high
levels of natural acidity and maximum
freshness.
The resulting base wine is blended with
a portion of reserve wine each year to
reflect the Josef Chromy house style.
The wine is then tiraged and sent to
second fermentation in bottle following
the traditional method.
The wine spent 15 months aging on
lees, before being disgorged and sealed
under cork.
Disgorged March 2024

Pale straw with a lively fine bead. Aromas of crisp Granny Smith apple and citrus. A lively palate of crunchy green apple and lemon with hints of toasted biscuit. Richness and complexity in its youth thanks to delicate aldehydic layering.

Pinot Noir (50%), Chardonnay (47%) with a dash of Pinot Meunier (3%). Sourced from our estate vineyard at Relbia in northern Tasmania.
