TWO ISLANDS RESERVE BLANC DE BLANCS 750ML

Two Islands Reserve Blanc de Blancs is a sparkling white wine produced by Two Islands Wines. Here is a summary of its key characteristics:

Winemaking and Origin:

• It is a non-vintage wine, made using 100% Chardonnay grapes.
• The grapes are sourced from South Australia’s Limestone Coast, specifically the cool-climate regions of Mount Gambier and Wrattonbully.
• The winemaking process follows the traditional method (Méthode Traditionnelle), which involves a second fermentation in the bottle to create natural, fine bubbles.
• The wine is aged “sur-lies” in the bottle for 24 months, which contributes to its complexity and a bready, yeasty character.

Tasting Notes:

• Appearance: Pale gold with a bright, energetic hue.
• Aroma: Delicate notes of honeysuckle, brioche, and vanilla, with fresh hints of melon and pear.
• Palate: Refined with fine, creamy bubbles. Flavors include roasted nuts, citrus zest, and a long, lingering finish with a quiet minerality. It is described as elegantly dry with a precise structure and vibrant acidity.

Food Pairing:

• It is versatile and pairs well with a variety of dishes.
• Suggested pairings include light cheeses, fresh oysters, canapés, and other delicate starters.
• Its high acidity and layered texture also make it a good match for refined, seasonal cuisine.
