Vintage conditions can have a surprising impact, sometimes prompting extrovert characters or in this case a quite subtle personality. There’s a lovely, delicate gingery note to the Chardonnay, oak showing a light touch, while a house styled tonic bitterness remains in place as well. The wine is tightly coiled at the moment, poised and inviting, acidity and flavours in balance which bodes well for a more expressive future.\"\u003c\/em\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/details\u003e\n\u003cdetails class=\"accordion\"\u003e\n\u003csummary class=\"accordion__title\"\u003eSERVING \u0026amp; STYLE \u003cspan class=\"accordion__icon\"\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/summary\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"accordion__content\"\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eServing\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eBest served well chilled at 6–8°C in a tulip or sparkling wine glass. \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIdeal as an aperitif or with oysters, seafood, or creamy dishes.\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eStyle\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eA refined, dry sparkling style with depth and elegance.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/details\u003e\n\u003cdetails class=\"accordion\"\u003e\n\u003csummary class=\"accordion__title\"\u003eFAQ's \u003cspan class=\"accordion__icon\"\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/summary\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"accordion__content\"\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWhat is “traditional method”?\u003c\/strong\u003e \u003cbr\u003eThis is a sparkling wine making process where the second fermentation occurs in the bottle.  \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eIs this Champagne?\u003c\/strong\u003e \u003cbr\u003eNo, but it’s made in the same method with similar quality focus.  \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eIs it sweet?\u003c\/strong\u003e \u003cbr\u003eNo, very dry (low dosage).  \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eCan it age?\u003c\/strong\u003e \u003cbr\u003eYes, it will continue to evolve with added complexity over time.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/details\u003e\n\u003c!-- DOWNLOAD --\u003e\n\u003cdiv style=\"margin-top: 16px;\"\u003e\u003ca href=\"https:\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0621\/5699\/6679\/files\/Tasting_Notes_SIG_CASS_18.pdf?v=1780297963\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"\u003e View \u0026amp; download full tasting notes \u003c\/a\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/section\u003e","brand":"Sidewood Estate","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":41856235831367,"sku":"18SIGCAS\/750","price":70.0,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0621\/5699\/6679\/files\/WEB-17-SIG-CASS_359077ca-c9e3-40c8-b43e-471aee93bddb.png?v=1753886369","url":"https:\/\/sidewood.com.au\/zh-hans\/products\/2018-vignerons-release-cassandra-blanc-de-blancs","provider":"Sidewood Estate","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
