REVIEWS of Angove Organic Cuvee Brut

QWINE - STEVE LESZCZYNSKI - 13.09.18 - 87 POINTS

“Organic, vegan-friendly and made with minimal preservatives which is sure to lure a few punters its way. Green apple, pears, fl ashes of lemon rind and toasted nuttiness seem to line up in that order. One enters, the next departs. A stand and deliver type wine with nothing to hide and seemingly is happy to be proud of the skin it’s in. Some texture with a fair length, it’s a solid good all round drink.”

VINEYARD
The grapes for this wine were carefully grown in the Angove family’s Nanya Vineyard. The low disease pressure and moderately fertile soils of this vineyard allow it to be farmed without using synthetic fertilisers, pesticides or herbicides and hence it is fully certified as organic.

WINEMAKING
Made from 100% Chardonnay the grapes were picked early to ensure we retained the vital acidity needed in sparkling wine. The grapes were pressed and cold settled prior to racking and inoculation with a carefully selected yeast strain. The wine was left ‘sur lie’ for an extended period to develop a subtle yeasty toastiness prior to bottling.
