History

The Hunt for Mrs Oliver 2020 is a wonderful follow up to previous vintage releases. Our winemaker Corrina has long been enamored by Champagne, so decided to try her hand at making a traditional method sparkling from Fiano grown on the Taranga vineyard. Corrina Wright is known in the wine business as the Queen of Fiano for good reason!

Aroma

Lemongrass, cut ruby grapefruit, buttered pine nut, toast, chalky powder note, mangosteen / lychee.

Palate

Nutty lemon tang, fine bead, lemon meringue, chevre, fresh struck match, round, savoury finish.

Wine & Vintage

Methode Traditionelle means that the wine is bottle fermented, so that the bubbles are all created by yeast in the bottle during a secondary fermentation. Corrina worked with renowned SA sparkling winemaker, Kate Laurie from Deviation Road Wines. Fiano is not a traditional sparkling variety, but it has a very high natural acidity which is key for sparkling winemaking and is often made into sparkling wines in its traditional home of Campania, Italy. With more than 24 months on yeast lees, this wine was handmade in very small quantities and we hope you enjoy sharing it with your friends as much as we did making it.
