Sidewood Sparkling Chardonnay Pinot Noir
Winemaker Darryl Catlin carefully selected the best parcels of fruit according to ripeness from the various blocks. For this current bottling of the Sidewood Sparkling, the Pinot Noir was hand-picked from the clones MV6, 114 and 115 whilst the Chardonnay was from I10V1, Dijon B76 and B95 clones. Grapes were gently pressed off with only free run juice used. Wild-yeast fermented in stainless steel for four months, with partial malolactic fermentation of the Chardonnay. Extended time on lees. Secondary ferment under the Charmat system for a further 4 weeks, prior to being bottled on the Estate bottling line.
