The Bouse Vineyard Sparkling Wine is made from 50% Orion and 50% Johanniter grapes, 100% of which comes from the vines in the vineyard in St Ewe, just outside of St Austell in Cornwall.
Both varieties are modern hybrids. The Orion being a cross between Optima and Villard Blanc and the Johannniter is a cross between Riesling, Rulander and Gutodel. They have a high degree of natural disease resistance which means that minimal spraying in the vineyard is required. Producing good yields and well suited to Sparkling Wine production.
The Grapes were harvested in October 2014 before being crushed, destemmed and pressed. Cool fermentation followed by first racking off the gross lees. Some cold stabilisation with gentle bentonite fining. Secondary fermentation took place in July 2015 and then left on lees for over 12 months before disgorging and dosage.
Dry, fruit driven style with a refreshing clean and aromatic nose. A perfect celebration fizz or an aperitif. Works especially well with smoked fish.
