Courabyra 805 Vintage Brut 2016

The 805 Vintage Brut 2016 is a blend of Pinot Noir, Pinot Meunier & Chardonnay varieties. Parcels of fruit from all three varieties were selected to obtain a well-balanced wine which is made in the traditional champenoise method.

The sparkling wine base was put through a full malolactic fermentation then bottled using the traditional method. The wines were individually barrel fermented before blending and have spent 5.5 years on Lees. This is a beautifully developed wine expressing the complexity of the Tumbarumba terrior. Expressing colour of deep straw with bright golden hues, while the bouquet has complex notes of buttered toast and mushroom brioche. Palate has subtle flavours of honey and mushroom and complimented by the supple backbone of acid and tannins supporting this flavoursome wine. This wine has a rich elegance, creamy in texture with citrus and stone fruit flavours and a crisp clean finish. Winemaker’s Notes
