The 2018 Seville Estate Blanc de Blancs is a refined Yarra Valley sparkling wine crafted entirely from Chardonnay in the traditional method. Produced from a single vineyard block and aged on lees for over 40 months prior to disgorgement, the wine combines precision, texture and depth while showcasing the cool-climate elegance for which Seville Estate is known. Barrel fermentation and extended lees maturation add further complexity and structure to this detailed sparkling release.
On the palate, it is crisp and finely structured with a persistent, delicate mousse, delivering flavours of preserved lemon, grapefruit pith and lemon curd layered with brioche, nougat, flint and subtle herbal notes. The extended lees ageing adds richness and creamy texture while bright natural acidity maintains freshness and drive through a long, mineral finish.
Ben’s Recommendation: At Wine More Cellars, this is an excellent Blanc de Blancs for customers who enjoy precise, cool-climate sparkling wines with complexity, fine acidity and extended lees character. The Yarra Valley fruit gives the wine freshness and elegance while the traditional method winemaking builds texture and depth. Drinking beautifully now and capable of evolving further over the next 5–8 years. Ideal with oysters, lobster, sashimi, creamy seafood dishes or soft cheeses.
