Auntsfield Estate Methode Ancestral 2022
Auntsfield is the home to Marlborough’s very first vineyard and winery which dates back to 1873. While other early settlers saw sheep, David Herd saw wine! He planted the first vines in the region and made a cheeky little Brown Muscat wine and this continued to be made at Auntsfield Estate for another 50 years until 1931.
This is a fizz made in celebration of David Herd. Using David’s original vineyard site, the specific Muscat clone and produced using the méthode ancestrale or ancestral method, the oldest known method of making sparkling wine dating back to the sparkling wines of Limoux in the 1500s!
Grape Varietals & Region: 100% Petit Grains Muscat from the Southern Valleys, Marlborough.
Taste Profile: A slightly sweeter style fizz that’s fresh and lively and quite simply delicious. Initially this wine has fresh aromas of fresh apple, elderflower, nashi pear with hints of mint, and wild honey. In the glass, the brighter apple and pear notes dissipate and reveal more of the Muscat floral and exotic spice aromas. The palate is light and lively with a fresh and crisp acidity. Light yeast lees in bottle give a generous weight to the pallet, with a brioche and almond flavours complimenting the floral varietal aromatics.
Winemaking Process: Petilant Naturel. After whole bunch pressing, the juice is put into tank until natural fermentation begins. Once fermentation gets close to finishing, the ferment is chilled, racked and clarified. This slightly sweet wine is bottled under crown seal. For a couple of weeks, nothing happens, then slowly, the remaining yeast begin their second fermentation in bottle
