Elegant pear and apple nose with a note of toasted almonds. A delicate yet refreshing palate showcasing notes of grapefruit and minerality, balanced by a creamy, staying finish. The 2017 harvest produced an abundance of high-quality estate Chardonnay. A long cool growing season allowed for good fruit flavour maturity while still maintaining high acidity and moderate sugars, perfect conditions for traditional method sparkling wine. Fermentation & elevage took place in our cellars for 8 months prior to the addition of tirage to the unfiltered base wine. The wine then rested en tirage for 42 months- subsequently, the wine was disgorged and finished brut zero (no sugar added to dosage). This edition of Ceremony is a move to vintage dated Blanc de Blancs to compliment the current vintage dated bottlings of Stardust and Loveless.
