The Delamere Sparkling Blanc de Blancs 2017 is a refined, racy sparkling wine that showcases both elegance and complexity. Crisp citrus notes greet you on the nose, followed by layers of stone fruits as the wine develops on the palate.

A hallmark of Delamere, this Blanc de Blancs carries the signature oyster shell and minerality throughout, adding depth and texture.

The finish is long and complex, lingering with delicate aromas of lemon blossom florals, making this wine a perfect expression of cool-climate winemaking at its finest.

Aroma

Crisp citrus, lemon blossom florals, with delicate minerality.

Palette

Stone fruits with classic oyster shell minerality, balanced by racy acidity. Long and complex, with lingering citrus and floral notes.

Pairings

Fresh Tasmanian oysters are the classic match. Calamari or white fish cooked with butter and herbs also balance nicely against the wine's mineral freshness.

Wine Making

The grapes for our Blanc de Blancs were whole bunch pressed, wild fermented followed by full malo and tiraging in October 2017. All our sparkling wines are made using the traditional method, with the Blanc de Blanc seeing a minimum of five years tirage before being disgorged and released. A low dosage of 3g/l allows the elegant flavours of the fruit to shine through. This wine will develop beautifully under cork, with 2-3 years showing its brightest potential.

Meet the owners

Delamere is one of the true pioneers of Pipers Brook, planted back in 1982 and among the oldest vineyards in the region. Husband and wife team Shane Holloway and Fran Austin took over the property in 2007, bringing serious sparkling wine credentials with them, Fran had worked alongside Ed Carr on the famed Arras label and later as head winemaker at Bay of Fires. Grown exclusively to Pinot Noir and Chardonnay on rich ironstone soil, Delamere is a genuine grower producer, 100% family owned, grown, made and bottled on site.
