2022 Estates Chardonnay
The 2017 Mineral Springs Blanc de Blancs beautifully reflects the warm and abundant growing season. Made from 100% biodynamically farmed Chardonnay, this traditional method sparkling wine was aged on the lees for six years before being hand disgorged. The ample sunshine imparted all the richness this wine needed, and the dosage is a mere 3g/L of sugar. On the palate, you’ll find flavors of guava and quince, complemented by a hint of honeycomb and beeswax. The finish offers a slightly savory note, with nuances of melon rind, sea salt, and a touch of wild apple.
