With a blend of Dijon Chardonnay and MV6 Pinot Noir clones, Chloe Cuvée displays enticing aromas of toasty brioche, green apple and zesty citrus. The palate is beautifully balanced, showing layers of orange blossom, biscotti and crisp green apple, supported by a distinctive mineral line and fine acidity. Extended lees ageing contributes a creamy texture and remarkable depth, leading to a long, elegant finish.

Hand-harvested 60% Chardonnay and 40% Pinot Noir fruit was gently pressed, with only free-run juice selected for fermentation. Following full malolactic fermentation, the wine underwent secondary fermentation in bottle using the Méthode Traditionnelle, before spending a minimum of five years on lees. Each bottle was hand riddled and disgorged prior to release.

The cool-climate Adelaide Hills provided ideal conditions for premium sparkling wine production, allowing fruit to retain natural acidity while developing flavour intensity and elegance. These characteristics underpin the wine's freshness, balance and longevity.

Positioned as Sidewood's flagship traditional-method sparkling wine, Chloe Cuvée showcases the ageing potential and sophistication of Adelaide Hills sparkling wine. Its extended lees maturation and meticulous production place it firmly in the premium Australian sparkling category.
