Chandon Blanc de Blanc 2016

Description

Because of this, there is a large variety of locations and each location providing different sets of flavours. The diversity of Chardonnay expression shown in Australia is a large benefit to Australian produced sparkling wines. This estate grown Blanc de Blancs comes from three amazing sparkling vineyard locations – Whitlands Plateau, Strathbogie Ranges and the Yarra Valley in Victoria. The complexity drawn from methode traditionnelle is on show in this exclusive release. The Chandon Blanc de Blanc 2016 vintage has green edges and is pale yellow in colour.
