Recently founded by talented winemakers Jascha Oldham-Selak and Sanne Witteveen, Vilaura are exclusive sparkling specialists through and through. Vilaura (a merging of the words Villa and Aura) translates to 'house of energy' and this impressive expression sure reflects this.
Pale golden in colour with aromas of toasted oats, rock melon and nuances of tropical fruits leading to a warm honeycomb finish in the glass. 36 months bottle aging on yeast lees give it a lovely yeasty characteristic with a fine acid backbone leading to a complex mineral finish. Extra Brut in style, this very dry methode traditionelle is best enjoyed as an aperitif or to accompany an entree course.

Sam Kim, Wine Orbit writes "This is reminiscent of a very fine blanc de blancs Champagne; it's seductively expressed on the nose, showing crunchy apple, nectarine, lemon peel, almond meal, and brioche nuances, followed by a concentrated palate displaying brilliant focus combined with beautifully pitched acidity, finishing impressively long and engaging. Crisp, dry and mouthwatering with richly textured mouthfeel."
