The awesomely scenic and wildly remote Great Southern of Western Australia,  produces fine, elegant Pinot Noir and Chardonnay grapes for Howard Park‘s  méthode traditionnelle wines.  With a family history in classical ballet, our méthode traditionnelle wines are  Petit Jeté  nv  Varieties  Chardonnay  Region  South West Australia   Analysis  pH: 3..17  |  Acidity: 7.6 g/l  Alcohol 12.5% v/v  named after the signature ballet movement of jeté - to leap.  The perfection of this ballet movement and the crafting of méthode traditionnelle  wine, share the demands of time, dedication, commitment and great skill to  create the illusion of boundless control, refinement, elegance and poise.  TECHNICAL NOTES  Early harvest of grapes from our vineyards located in the cool sub-regions of  south west Western Australia, ensures we maintain fine, linear acidity and capture  delicate fruit flavours - all critical to the crafting of méthode traditionnelle wine.  Grapes are harvested in the coolest part of the night to retain freshness. Gentle  pressing yields the finest free run juice used for our sparkling bases. Fermentation  occurs in stainless steel plus a few new barrels to give the slightest hint of oak in  the final blend. Malolactic fermentation of select batches enhances complexity.  This Petit Jeté Brut NV is based on the 2023 vintage. Disgorgement took place  in batches after a minimum 18 months on lees. This wine is extra-brut in style  with a residual sugar level of 2.5 grams per litre.  TASTING NOTES  Pale straw in colour, this méthode traditionnelle sparkling wine radiates youthful  energy and freshness. The nose is an intricate blend of white florals, Granny  Smith apple skin, and citrus rind, intertwined with crisp, fresh cucumber and  wet river stone notes. On the palate, the wine boasts an elegant and expressive  mousse. Sea spray notes introduce a coastal character, seamlessly melding with  flavours of yellow plum and lemon tart. Spiced apple accents add depth and  intrigue, followed by a refreshing, lingering finish that perfectly balances bright  acidity with a delicate hint of salinity.  FOOD IDEAS  Enjoy with gourmet butter caramel popcorn, or triple-cream brie served on  warm crusty bread

The entire Jeté range offers excellent fizz with prices to match. This is full of white peach and citrus, ginger spice and yeasty bread-biscuit flavours. It has some complexity, it’s refreshing, and it finishes rather zingy and super dry. Nice one.

Light to medium colour, bright yellow, with a good collar of foam. The aroma is fresh and clean, showing some subtle dried fruit and dried herb notes and the palate soft and full, round and ample with generosity and attractive texture, if not great complexity. It finishes clean, dry and refreshing. Lovely wine.

This is a nicely cut sparkling wine with fresh, bright lemon and stone-fruit aromas and flavours, delivering much in the way of drinkable appeal.

I do like a BdB style. Richness of honeycomb, brioche and bread crust with gun flint, whipped cream, spiced warm apple and peachy stone fruit. Very good structure. Harmony between textural elements, a well formed mid palate with expressive mousse and keen acidity through the tail. Fine value.”

If you were going to pick a region to make super Blanc de Blancs sparkling wine then the Great Southern would have to be one of your go to regions thanks to its mix of both a cool climate and beautifully pristine environment which give superb purity of Chardonnay fruit. Mid straw in colour with a dusting of gold, it opens with beautifully elegant and precise aromas, from nectarine to florals and citrus well balanced with just cooked pastry bottle age influences. The palate is then bright, fresh and vibrant with a light, silky touch and crisp acid backbone before opening up to a soft finish accented by touches of buttered toast. A delicious aperitif, at any time of the day.
