Recently founded by talented winemakers Jascha Oldham-Selak and Sanne Witteveen, Vilaura are methode traditionelle specialists through and through. Exclusively producing single vineyard, regional New Zealand methode traditionelle, this is an impressive start to their winemaking journey. Vilaura (a merging of the words Villa and Aura) translates to 'house of energy' and this methode sure reflects this.
Bottle aging for a minimum of 36 months on yeast lees and barrel fermentation drives the wine's complexity and the 100% clone 95 chardonnay is at the helm of the striking acidity and punchy citrus characters. This is one not to miss. Limited stocks.

The winery writes "Light yellow gold in colour with a fine persistent bead. Aromas of white peach, lemon citrus and crisp
green apple. Notes of baked bread and ginger spice on the nose with a subtle nutty character. On the palate a crisp acidity is balanced with creamy textures held up by a concentrated long finish. Extra Brut in style, this very dry Methode Traditionelle is best enjoyed as an aperitif or to accompany an Entree course."
