Sittella

Sparkling Chenin Blanc

We have been making a sparkling Chenin Blanc at Sittella since 2001, inspired by our regular trips to the Loire Valley. There are two years of blends in every of our Chenin Blanc sparkling wine. The grapes for this wine are sourced from 5 different vineyards in the Swan Valley with the vines being 20 – 45 years throughout. The appearance is more of a lovely delicate mousse with pale straw colour followed by aromas of brioche and citrus peel on the nose. The palate offers a refreshing acidity coupled with initial layers of fresh fruit and lemon zest with a touch of sweetness followed by a hint of spice that lingers on the back palate.
