Winegrowing in the Tamar Valley is a relatively recent occurence. Tamar Ridge have pioneered the development of highly specialized sites which deliver grapes with the perfect levels of bright acidity and natural fruit sugars. Vinified from parcels of Pinot Noir and Chardonnay grown to the best vineyards, a primary fermentation is initiated in tank under strict temperature control to retain maximum aromaticness and flavour. The wines are treated to a secondary fermentation before bottling under pressure to protect the lively effervescence. This clean, fruit friendly style of sparkling winemaking delivers bright, fresh characters without the intrusion of flavours and aromas which can be derived from yeast lees. Alcohol 12.0%
