Highlights

  • 100% Chardonnay: Sourced exclusively from the Karridale sub-region in the deep south of Margaret River, crafted by Vasse Felix's dedicated sparkling wine house, Idée Fixe.
  • Terroir: Karridale is defined by relentless Southern Ocean influence. Constant sea breezes create Margaret River's coolest microclimate, perfect for preserving the racy natural acidity and saline coastal feel essential for world-class sparkling wine.
  • Winemaking: Crafted via the authentic Méthode Traditionnelle. The pristine Chardonnay is hand-picked and gently whole-bunch pressed to yield only the most delicate, pure free-run juice for the base wine.
  • Elevage: After secondary fermentation in the bottle, the wine is rested on its lees (tirage) to build complex autolytic aromas of fresh pastry and almond, ensuring a seamlessly creamy mouthfeel without losing its coastal tension.
  • Vintage Profile: The 2023 vintage offers exceptional purity and drive, characterized by bright orchard fruit, electric acidity, and a distinctive, refreshing oceanic minerality.

Tasting Notes

Pouring a brilliant pale gold with a remarkably fine and persistent bead, this Blanc de Blancs opens with a pure, inviting bouquet. Aromas of crisp Granny Smith apple, Meyer lemon, and white spring flowers are intricately laced with coastal sea spray and freshly baked brioche. On the palate, the mousse is creamy and elegant, offering a rounded texture that beautifully offsets the vibrant citrus core. Piercing, mouthwatering acidity drives the wine, cutting through the delicate leesy richness and finishing with a long, saline, and incredibly refreshing chalky tension.

Serving Suggestion

  • Temperature: Serve well-chilled at 46-50°F (8-10°C) in a tulip-shaped sparkling wine glass or a standard white wine glass to allow the autolytic and floral aromatics to expand.
  • Decanting: Not required. An exceptional, sophisticated aperitif that pairs flawlessly with freshly shucked oysters, scallop crudo, or triple-cream Brie cheese.
