The 2017 Sidewood Vignerons Cassandra Blanc de Blancs is a premium traditional method sparkling from the Adelaide Hills, crafted from 100% Chardonnay and aged extensively on lees to build depth and complexity. It showcases a Champagne-inspired style with a strong focus on texture and ageing character. The nose is complex and lifted, showing lemon curd, citrus blossom and grapefruit, layered with brioche, toasted almond and subtle spice.
On the palate, it is creamy and refined with fine bubbles, revealing flavours of preserved lemon, apple and toasted nuts, supported by fresh, mineral acidity and a long, elegant finish.
Ben’s Recommendation:
At Wine More Cellars, this is a top-tier Australian sparkling for Champagne lovers seeking complexity and maturity. Drink now. Perfect with oysters, seafood or as a refined aperitif.
