Description

Lucy M. Le Vilain Gris Petillant 2022

Grape Varietals & Region: Pinot Gris comes from Robert Surmann’s vineyard in Totness, Adelaide Hills, Australia

Taste Profile: The Lucy M Le Vilain Gris Petillant has a blood plum colour. Fresh and juicy, the wine has a creamy nose with a bitter edge of quince and crushed fruits on the palate. Super crushable.

Winemaking Process: Fruit is destemmed and left to rest for four days before being pressed into a ceramic egg and fermented for two weeks. It finishes on lees in the bottle for five months and then disgorged.

Berries & Cream Sparklings

Red fruit and bubbles, ranging from light and fruity pink Moscato, to vintage rosé Champagne and sparkling Shiraz

Ancestral Method

Also known as Petillant Naturel, it's the oldest version of sparkling wine making, and involves bottling the wine before fermentation has finished. A single fermentation is applied, trapping carbon dioxide to create natural carbonation.
This results in a little less control, and wines can sometimes come across a less refined compare to the traditional champagne method, and sometimes tends to have a slightly more beer-ish or cider-ish taste
