Le Champ - French for bubble.   A delicious bottle fermented Methode Sparkling, this latest (limited) release is from Gisborne grown Chardonnay. The single vineyard Blanc de Blancs is from the Ormond Valley. Handpicked and whole bunch pressed, with only 550 litres per tonne extraction it has been bottle fermented and stored in this bottle for 14 years prior to riddling in batches late 2022 and 2023. The wine has been re sealed under crown cap to remove the cork influence and deliver the pureness of Methode Champenoise aging. Dosage is 10 G/L

This wine possesses a very fine bubble, yeast derived savoury aromas and flavours, with a creaminess and freshness.  With touches of lemon and mushroom on the palate, the off dry sweetness is balanced with acidity.

We are delighted to bring this wine to market. Purposefully under stated on the label we hope you agree the wine talks for itself. The creamy mousse is perfect as a lunch time refresher or aperitif to enjoy with canapes, tapas, and antipasto. Best served chilled in a tall glass

Colour: Light lime pale in colour with a fine creamy bubble.

Aromas: Burnt Citrus and peachy stone fruit mushroom and fresh baked bread

Palate: Off dry, fresh, and clean flavours of lemon and nectarine. A tantalising lingering palate cleansing finish.

Intensely perfumed with lifted savoury notes interlaced with dark cherries, plum and cracked pepper. The tannins are soft and silky, layered with plush, ripe red fruits.

In Essential Awatere fashion the finish is lively, crisp and lingering.

A delicious wine that brings together “new world” fruit and “old world” elegance and minerality.

In a valley forged by fault lines, carved by winds, drenched by sun and cooled by the Pacific Ocean, our wines are the essence of the Awatere. 

The Awatere Valley is windy, dry, stony and harsh, with hot days and cold nights that create extraordinary wines. Those extremes are heightened at the exposed Breloft Vineyard, where vines teeter at the edge of the Awatere River, buffeted by winds from the nearby Pacific Ocean. 

They dig their roots deep through rocky soils to survive, and produce wines of elegance, with a minerality and crisp clean acidity that are unique to our sliver of land in the heart of the Awatere Valley.
