Wildwater Sparkling Pignoletto 2022
$35
A crisp bright sparkling using the ‘methode traditionelle’.
Our third vintage of a sparkling wine using our Pignoletto grapes which are grown in the Harvey Hills at our Wildwater Vineyard.
The label has been created especially for us from a commissioned painting by local artist Yvonne Chapman and friend of Vineyard 28. It reflects the Wildwater vineyard terroir, its landmark towering gum tree and the guinea fowl who live amongst the vines.
