Smitten Sparkling 2024 | New Release
We are fanatical about Riesling on the Back 10 vineyard. We take hand picked fruit and press only to 600 litres a ton. This premium juice is then fermented in the Charmat process into an expressive, aromatic and off dry wine. Enjoy aromas of melon, apple & pear, with a sleek back bone of acidity.
Limited Production: Under 600 cases crafted
Reviews
The Smitten Sparkling is a riesling-based sparkler, made in a tank fermented 'cuvee close' or charmat method. So don't expect Champagne-like biscuity complexity. It is straightforward, generous apple-pear riesling fruit on the nose, with lemon and some clover honey. It is light-bodied, off-dry with scintillatingly high acidity. But it works. The length is excellent. Tasted Feb 2025
