When it comes to marking special moments with sparkle, few wines capture the magic of the season like the 2010 Claremont Blanc de Blancs from Saltire Estate in the Hunter Valley. A vintage Brut Chardonnay crafted with meticulous care, this elegant sparkling wine brings depth, tradition, and festive joy to your Christmas table.
A Sparkling Star for Your Christmas Celebration
The 2010 Claremont Blanc de Blancs is made from 100% estate-grown Chardonnay grapes, using the Traditional Method (Méthode traditionnelle), where the wine undergoes a second fermentation in the bottle and spends years resting on lees. This extended ageing contributes creamy texture, refined bubbles, and a complex flavour profile — the perfect complement to the joyous spirit of Christmas.
With aromas of baked pastry and subtle apricot, and a palate that balances richness with crisp acidity, this sparkling wine elevates everything from casual Christmas brunches to formal dinner pairings.
