2017 DAOSA Late Disgorged Blanc de Blancs
Buy This Wine
From the 2017 vintage, we decided to leave some of our single vineyard Blanc de Blancs on lees for longer. We disgorged a small batch of the 2017 Blanc de Blancs mid-2025, after 90 months on lees. We are very proud to release our first Late Disgorged (LD) Blanc de Blancs made from our Chardonnay vineyard in the higher slopes of the Piccadilly Valley. The wine is a pure expression of Piccadilly Valley Chardonnay, made following the principles of our Method ClassicTM.
A pure expression of sparkling Piccadilly Valley Chardonnay with ripe stone fruit characters, fine bead, texture and long finish.
The Bizot vineyard is located in Summertown, in the heart of Piccadilly Valley sub-region in the Adelaide Hills, and is one of the highest vineyards in the valley at 550m altitude. It was planted by Petaluma in 1995/1996 for DAOSA with Chardonnay. It was planted with several clones, including French “Burgundy” clones 76, 95, 96 and 277. It is also one of the first Australian vineyards to have been planted using rootstocks in part of the vineyard. The soil is red clay and sandy loams over a 70 million year old shale rock formation. The Chardonnay is planted on a north-north east facing slope, at a relatively high density of 3,200 vines per hectare.
