This is crafted from historic 90- and 45-year-old vineyards in a cold pocket of the Monferrato hills outside Canelli. The grapes were hand-harvested early to capture bright aromas, vibrant acidities and phenolic integrity.

A cool fermentation was arrested at 5% abv to preserve the natural flavours. The lees were stirred to add mouthfeel and texture. The wine is held at 2.1 atmospheres of pressure to achieve the style’s signature sparkle and freshness.

This wine is crafted from a blend of historic 90 year old and 45 year old vineyards, situated in a cold pocket of the Monferrato hills outside Canelli in Piemonte, Italy.

Grapes are hand harvested in early September on the earlier side of ripening to capture the brightest aromas of this delicious grape. We then ferment this wine at a chilly 15 degrees C, followed by arrest and cold settling without filtration at 0 degrees C to preserve natural effervescence and natural grape flavours, attaining a final alcohol of around 5%. From arrest to bottling, our wine is held at 2.1 atmospheres pressure to preserve that piquant effervescence and deliver you the most deliciousness possible in one drop, all in its most natural and original state. Bright berries buzzing in la boca!!

About Linnaea Vineyards

Linnaea, led by Daniel Fischl and Michelle Edwards, is becoming a flag-flier for sustainable vineyard practice, across every vineyard they touch globally. The wines are made with a meticulous, reductive approach, and a blend of tradition and thoughtful intuition. They produce wines from their home base in Heathcote, as well as a selection from Italy.

The Winemakers
Michelle Edwards grew up in Washington state and moved to Melbourne in 2010. After completing university degrees in Anthropology, Oenology and Viticulture, she made wines in Napa and Sonoma Valley, Washington State, Australia and Italy. She lives with her husband (Dan), three children and dogs above her urban winery and enjoys all things fermented, dancing, parenting (sometimes), native Australian bees, indigenous Australian plants and foods, and tardigrades.

Dan Fischl is an agricultural scientist and technical vineyard specialist working globally in a few fancy and forward-thinking vineyards in countries as diverse as Australia, the USA, Israel, Mexico, China & Italy. PhD-trained in all things plant biochemistry and way-too-specifically the genomics of ripening in grapevines, his real passion is biological systems and restoring ecological balance to vineyard lands. Dan loves to chase after his three kids, fishing, cooking, Queen (the band, not the actual queen) and innovating algorithms for water conservation in vineyards.

Fine Wine Cellars

On the one hand, our role as a merchant of all things wine & spirits could not be simpler. We aim to source the most delicious, the most authentic, and the highest quality products possible from Australia and around the world in order to offer them to our clients. We live or die by how well we perform this task. Of course things are rarely as simple or as easy as they seem. Hunting for wines & spirits is no different. Apart from the months spent travelling, countless days and evenings spent tasting and the outrageous wine expenditure in the name of ‘research’, sourcing quality wine and spirits requires expertise and experience. Understanding the potential of a producer and their products is much more than just a slurp and a spit.
