{"product_id":"2017-gilbert-methode-traditionelle","title":"2017 Gilbert Methode Traditionelle","description":"\u003cp\u003eCrafted by one of NSW’s brightest stars, Will Gilbert, the 2017 Gilbert Méthode Traditionelle is a sparkling wine that truly stands out. Will is a sixth-generation winemaker, based in Mudgee, and part of a winemaking dynasty that’s been around for over a century. Since taking the reins of the family business, Will has made waves with his meticulous approach and innovative touch. Named the 2021 GT WINE Young Winemaker of the Year, he’s certainly one to watch—and his wines speak volumes.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis zero-dosage sparkler is a showcase of Will’s precision and creativity. Made from the classic Champagne blend of Chardonnay, Pinot Meunier, and Pinot Noir, it’s sourced from high-altitude vineyards in Orange. These vineyards, perched between 880 and 1080 metres, enjoy the perfect mix of cool-climate conditions and abundant sunshine, creating fruit with striking acidity and complexity.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe winemaking is all about purity and balance. Handpicked grapes are whole-bunch pressed, then undergo primary fermentation and maturation in stainless steel and neutral oak before being aged for 63 months on lees. It's a sparkling wine with a fine mousse, razor-sharp acidity, and flavours of red fruit, crisp apple, and a touch of salinity that leaves you refreshed and reaching for another glass.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eWill’s passion for letting the vineyard speak is clear here—this is sparkling without any added sugar, just natural texture and depth. Whether enjoyed solo or paired with food, this is a wine that shows why Will Gilbert is one of the most exciting talents in Australian winemaking right now.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cblockquote\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e95 points\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\"Meyer lemon, pineapple hull and peach fuzz.
