Mature white wine and fresh dough aroma’s are lifted from the glass by the fine and persistent bead.

Winemaker’s Notes
The Leydens Vale traditional sparkling is a blend of several vintages and the two classic varieties of Champagne, Chardonnay (89%) and Pinot Noir (11%). “Methode Traditionnelle” is also the classic method of Champagne for making sparkling wine and effectively means that the bottle you drink this wine from is the same bottle the wine was originally bottled and fermented in. Although this method is time consuming and expensive it produces the most flavoursome and delightful sparkling wines, evident in the glass.
