Tasting Notes
Palate
Lovely acid drive on the palate, but with plenty of fresh lemon fruit along for the ride. There is a nice creaminess that will become more apparent with time in bottle, enhancing the complex toasty brioche characters derived from ageing on yeast lees. The balanced dry finish works nicely as a refreshing aperitif style sparkling wine.
Vinification
The hand-picked fruit was whole bunch pressed, blended and fermented at cool temperatures (primary fermentation) prior to tirage in August, 2016. After the completion of the secondary fermentation in bottle, the sparkling wine spent close to two years in the same bottle, developing complex aromas and flavours whilst still in contact with the yeast. The 2016 Stonier Sparkling was disgorged (removal of the yeast and sealing with cork) in July, 2018.
Region Notes
The whole region is surrounded by water on its three sides Bass Strait, Port Phillip Bay and Western Port Bay making the region a true maritime climate with no vineyard site in the Mornington Peninsula further than 7km from the ocean. The Mornington Peninsulas soils differ across the region, ranging from deep fertile sandy soils in the northern area, yellow and brown soils over friable, well-drained clay and russet-red volcanic-based soils in the south. Elevation ranges between 25-250m and the mean January temperature sits at 19.4C.
