Blanc de Blanc (pron. blonk-de-blonk)
Blanc de Blanc means white wine made from only white grapes, in a very specialized manner. This wine is pressed and the juice carefully settled, racked and fermented cold and slow. A few months later, raw wines are racked off yeast lees, and blended cold, stabilized and polish filtered. They are then triaged and left on yeast lees for between two and a half and three and a half years prior to disgorgement.
A Chardonnay Blanc de Blanc sparkling wine is light and refreshing and has the palest straw colour with a fine persistent bead and is all about shape and texture. It has lovely aromas of lemons and ripe apples. It shows fresh fruit with a wisp of baked bread with a silky soft mouth feel. The palate would usually be long and lean with great flavour persistence.
Bright and refreshing, an Australian Blanc de Blancs are the perfect partner with Turkey so why not invite this great Aussie Sparkler to your next Holidays festivity or celebration.
