2019 [FEIRE] METHODE TRADITIONELLE – BLANC DE BLANCS – EDEN VALLEY
order online… 2019 [FEIRE] Methode Traditionelle – Blanc De Blancs
*NEW RELEASE*
$50 bottle | $300/6 pk
Availability | 3975 Bottles Produced
The 2019 [FEIRE] Sparkling was made using an intricate process called Méthode Traditionnelle—the same time-honored approach used to make French Champagne. The Chardonnay fruit was picked early and sourced from the cool climate of Eden Valley, a high altitude sub-region in the Barossa.
The freshly pressed juice is immediately settled and cold fermented in stainless steel. The base wine is tiraged and yeast is introduced into the bottle with sugar for a secondary fermentation under pressure (which creates the fine bead of bubbles).
This wine was ‘En Tirage’ for three years where the secondary characters developed in the wine. It was hand-riddled in 2022 and disgorged in December the same year. The wine is ready to drink, but it will age gracefully for approximately 5 years.
This Chardonnay cuvee is the epitome of finesse and elegance.

Impressive full, vibrant, luminous purple hue. These vines encapsulate the compelling mood of Lyndoch, contrasting great depth of black fruits with lift and drive. A deep core of blackberry, black cherry, satsuma plum and licorice is confidently backed with high-cocoa dark chocolate oak. Impressively scaffolded tannins rise to the occasion”.

Hand-Picked from Muscadelle dry-grown bush vines, it displays a rich golden amber colour with intense aged characters of burnt toffee, dried fig and caramel on the nose. The base of this wine has been aged for 20+ years in ‘The Fox Shed’ putting this fortified in a class of its own. The intensity lingers on the palate and is enhanced by decadent flavours of butterscotch and a hint of honey. A great compliment to roast tomato and goats curd as an aperitif or indulge and enjoy with some dark chocolate for dessert.

*93/100 WINE SHOWCASE MAGAZINE
“Raisiny old nutty pecan oak aromas is a very luscious concentrated sweetness with raisiny vanilla and toffee flavours and a medium finish.” ROB GEDDES
“Medium tawny/amber colour; the bouquet aged and complex, with vanilla ice-cream, toffee and molasses aromas, the palate quite sweet and rich with a slightly lumpy texture from the tannins. The aftertaste is grippy and spirit. It has a lot of good points. “ HUON HOOKE
