Description
Armilla is a Blanc de Blancs sparkling wine produced by Avondale Wine Estate in Paarl, South Africa, exclusively from Chardonnay grapes. The vineyards, aged between 15 and 27 years, offer limited yields and perfectly balanced grapes, a reflection of the biodynamic and sustainable approach that guides the estate's entire philosophy.
Vinification begins with hand harvesting in the early morning, followed by whole cluster pressing. The must ferments spontaneously in stainless steel tanks, with a small portion aged in French oak barriques. After blending, the wine matures for 24 months on the lees before the second fermentation in the bottle, where it remains for a further 60 months before disgorgement.
The taste profile stands out for its richness and complexity. On the nose, notes of hazelnut bread, green apple and quince are perceived, accompanied by hints of citrus. On the palate, it offers elegant acidity and a fine mousse, integrating with a velvety sensation and an enveloping, layered structure.
Ideal with shellfish, sushi or dishes based on butter and aged cheeses.
