Varieties: 68% Pinot Noir / 32% Chardonnay
Region: Pemberton
Tasting Notes
A complex style of sparkling wine, comprising of both an array of ripe fruit characters and typical yeast derived characters from the extended lees ageing. Fresh red apples, lemon and citrus curd accompanied with subtle toast, brioche and flint notes. The wine has the ability to age for a substantial amount of time, due to its natural acid backbone, which provides exceptional drive and length. Will develop more complex and toasted notes with time under cork.
Critic Reviews
None available.
Cellaring Potential
Drink now or comfortably cellar for 5-7 years.
Enjoy With
Oysters, Crayfish or other decadent seafood if possible. Otherwise this pairs beautifully with Charcuterie also.
About Sittella
Established: 1998 | Under vine: 25ha | Production: 15,000 dozens
In 2023, Sittella has one of the best Sparkling wine programs in the country. Not bad for a couple, Simon and Maaike Berns, taking a ‘punt’ buying the property after being inspired from their travels through France in the 1980’s.
Sittella is one of only a handful of Western Australian producers that have made a significant investment in sparkling wine production - they have invested in all the specialist equipment and retain multiple vintages of wine (requires a lot of storage) to be able to create a consistently high quality ‘house’ style (like producers in Champagne) sparkling wine year after year.
