“The Swift family and winemaker Drew Tuckwell have done more than anyone to seed, shape and substantiate the idea that the elevated vineyards of Orange could be a source of world-class sparkling wines. And they’ve done it with scintillating, thrilling wines like this. Piercingly pure grapefruit, lime juice squeezed on chalk, Granny Smith apples and nougat wrapped in croissant dough. It wears its eight years on lees lightly and could easily push on for more. A genuine star of Australia sparkling.” by Nick Ryan

Alc – 12.5%, pH – 3.01, TA – 8.3gL, RS – 3.5gL

After 8 years of lees ageing this wine has developed wonderful complexity. Now that it has been disgorged it will continue develop – more along the lines of typical bottle maturation. It should drink well as it evolves over the next 5-10 years.
