Plantagenet Wyjup Collection Blanc De Blancs

Plantagenet Wyjup Collection Blanc De Blancs 2021 from Plantagenet Wines in Mount Barker, Great Southern, is a pristine, traditional‑method chardonnay sparkling that’s all about purity, finesse and cool‑climate precision. In the glass it shows pale straw with a green hue, and Wyjup Blanc De Blancs 2021 offers aromas of lemon sherbet, fresh white peach and a nutty, brioche nuance. It’s tightly wound and compact, youthful and refreshing with scents of green apple, gingerbread and light toast giving an aperitif‑style feel.

On the palate, this Blanc De Blancs 2021 is bright and finely structured, with zesty citrus and crunchy green apple carrying through on a lively bead. The focus is on pristine fruit rather than big autolytic richness, so the chardonnay shines through in a clean, precise, cool‑climate frame. That combination of lemon sherbet, peach and subtle brioche complexity makes it both seriously classy and very easy to drink.

Plantagenet Wyjup Collection Blanc De Blancs 2021 is spot‑on as an aperitif, but will also sit comfortably alongside richer dishes – think oysters, prawn cocktails, lightly fried seafood, chicken terrine or soft, creamy cheeses. It’s a high‑quality Great Southern sparkling built for immediate enjoyment, yet with enough structure to handle a few years in the cellar. For drinkers chasing refined, fruit‑pure Australian Blanc de Blancs, this Wyjup 2021 is a compelling option from one of WA’s benchmark producers.
