This sparkling wine is made by the traditional methods where the fruit is whole bunch pressed and the resulting juice is fermented into a base wine. This base wine undergoes secondary fermentation in bottle to give the wine its “sparkle” and is then riddled to remove the yeast and the yeast is disgorged and the bottle is corked again.  

In the last 10 years Delatite has made wine as naturally as possible. We use 100% wild yeast in all Estate wines and have no enzymes or fining agents* and minimal Sulphur. This allows the wines to fully show the vineyard’s characteristics. The grapes are grown following biodynamic principles which doesn’t allow the use of artificial inputs; encouraging greater biodiversity in the vineyard. 

*Fining agents are protein based compounds used to reduce the level of phenolics in the wine. Not adding them makes our wines vegan friendly.
