This year is truly a classic interpretation of likely our flagship wine. Vibrant yellow in the glass and Meyer lemon curd and green apple on the nose, there is this beautiful, pithy bubbly tingle which is so fun to drink. Boozy Schweppes bitter lemon, with length and utter drinkability, this is Tuff Nutt at their best.
Fermented in stainless steel with wild vineyard yeast, the wine was bottled under crown seal to finish ferment, resulting in the Petillant Naturel, lightly sparkling style. The Sherwood Estate in Loxton North, owned by the Proud family, has the only planting of Bianco d’Alessano in Australia – a late ripening, aromatic variety that holds acid beautifully and is completely at home in the hot dry Riverland climate.
