Sittella Marie Christien Lugten Grand Vintage 2019

Here is a wine that can proudly take WA sparkling wine to the world. It’s a pinot noir dominant blend with chardonnay that is aged for a minimum of five years before release. The fruit comes from vineyards in Pemberton, a region that is so well suited to sparkling wine. The aromas have a light flinty stone fruit and cereal character with a meaty influence. The palate is both powerful and elegant with a tight and controlled presentation. The persistence on the palate is remarkable. It’s the type of thing you get from the best champagnes.
