Sabre By Mitchell Harris Sparkling Vintage 2021
$ 50.00 incl. GST
Description
54% Chardonnay and 46% Pinot Meunier, 95% Pyrenees & 5% Macedon. Tiraged January 2022, disgorged December 2024 with 34 months yeast age and 4 g/L dosage. Fermented in seasoned French oak hogsheads, base wines are matured on yeast in barrel for six months before assemblage with 5% reserve wine added for further complexity.
As always, a classic and generous aperitif style. The barrel work has softened and rounded out the generous pallet, and a fine natural acidity offers great line and length and structure to support the brioche, roasted hazelnuts and nougat complexity developed over three years aging on yeast. Drink now in its vibrant youth or cellar to build toast and nutty complexity over the next 5 to 10 years.

Mitchell Harris / Pyrenees And Ballarat, Vic
Cool Climate Stylings From One Of The Most Passionate Advocates For Victorian Wine
Famed for an excellent wine bar and cellar door venue in Ballarat, Mitchell Harris is a multi-faced wine business of two families. The affable John Harris earned his winemaking stripes as chief sparkling winemaker of Domaine Chandon before the families launched their own operation in 2008, becoming Ballarat’s first true food and wine destination, underpinned by a smart, small batch wine label.
Long standing relationships with good growers have been maintained, most notably with the Peerick vineyard in the gorgeous Victorian Pyrenees. Winemaking ethos is of contemporary minimal handling, with a leaning to wild ferments, considered use of French oak, and gentle extraction. The wines are stylistically clean and pure, with John Harris a renowned tireless campaigner in the promotion of Victoria’s wines and regions.
