This Australian Sparkling wine won a trophy awarded at the London International Wine Show recently. It was in the esteemed company of Champagne Houses such as Mumm, Taittinger and Piper Hiedsieck.
Plus the Azahara won a GOLD MEDAL at the Decanter World Wine Awards 2012 and caused astonishment due to its price.
Azahara Sparkling is made by Deakin Estate a big Murray Darling producer. How, you might ask, did this wine knock off the big names? By making a sensational wine using a solera system that contains six past vintages of Chardonnay and Pinot Noir fruit and the yeast lees to make the final blend.
Classic varieties, early picking, gentle processing of exclusively free run juice, fine attention to juice composition and clarity, cold and slow fermentation with classic sparkling wine yeast and then extended yeast lees aging.
