Chalmers Lambrusco 2019 (6 Bottles) Heathcote, Vic

100% Lambrusco Maestri from the Chalmers Vineyard in Heathcote, where these vines grow at 150-170m on red Cambrian soils. The grapes are handpicked before traditional-method fermentation. The wine spends nine months on lees and is given 4g/L dosage at disgorgement. Vegan friendly. Made in a dry, aperitif style, this vibrant wine displays notes of violets, blackcurrant and spice, with a slight but affirming tannic grip. Lambrusco Maestri vines were first imported by Chalmers in 2001, and the family made its first varietal sparkling from the grape in 2012.
