Winemaker's Notes
|
Kluge winemaker Charles Gendrot and sparkling wine consultant Laurent Champs (owner and Champagne Master at Vilmart et Cie in Champagne, France) made this méthode Champenoise sparkling wine from Kluge Estate’s best Chardonnay grapes. The grapes were hand-picked in small baskets and pressed gently using a Champagne press. Only the cuvée (first press) was fermented in stainless steel tanks. After bottling, the wine was aged on its lees for over 22 months to gain more complexity. A very low dosage was added at disgorging to complement the wine’s freshness.
Tasting Notes:
The vibrant Chardonnay aromas of Kluge SP Blanc de Blancs are focused and complex, exhibiting notes of ripe apple and pear with hints of hazelnut and roasted almond. The wine is medium-bodied with a creamy, finely-beaded mouthfeel and a clean and zesty finish. |
