This sparkling wine is produced by the Charmat method which consists in a second natural fermentation in the tank. We add natural yeast and sugar to our ''cuvée'' . Then the fermentation in tank lasts four weeks and permits the birth of the bubbles which are naturally produced. The result is a natural sparkling wine. With a pale pink colour, this wine has fine bubbles, with a red fruit aroma of raspberry and redcurrants, supple with fruity finish.

Trinity Hill HOMAGE Shiraz Viognier Gimbett Gravels Hawke's Bay NZ
Description: The handpicked grapes were gently de-stemmed and lightly crushed to leave a large portion of uncrushed berries. Fermentation took place in an open top stainless steel fermenter and the cap was hand plunged four times daily for optimum colour and tannin extraction. A short post-fermentation maceration helped complex the tannins, softening and stabilising the wine. The wine was subsequently aged in new French oak barriques, with malolactic fermentation taking place in tank before going to barrel. Regular racking for clarification took place during ageing in barrel. The wine was blended after 17 months oak ageing and bottled without fining or filtration. Described by one expert as ''a wonderful balance between fruit and concentration. I like very much the softness of the tannins. Very good winemaking, great wine.'' (6 x 75 cl) Price: £463.22
