Nose
Aromas of fresh Fuji apples, citrus curd and white flowers are overlaid with more complex yeast derived notes of brioche and toast.
Palate
The palate has a fine creamy texture and focussed drive with a slightly savoury textural finish. The vibrant freshness of the chardonnay, the dominant variety in this blend, is complemented by the depth and intensity of the reserve selections to create an elegant and stylish wine.
A sparkling wine made to share and celebrate any occasion.
Select parcels of chardonnay and pinot noir are blended and bottle fermented for an average of 18 months on lees, with selected reserve parcels incorporated into the blend adding an extra layer of complexity to this sophisticated sparkling wine.
Ovata by Oakridge is a sparkling wine crafted by renowned winemaker, Natalie Cleghorn, in collaboration with the team at Oakridge Wines.
Leveraging their intimate knowledge of the Yarra Valley, the team at Oakridge have hand selected premium parcels of the classic sparkling varietals, chardonnay and pinot noir, in which Teresa has then crafted a preeminent sparkling wine.
The word Ovata is derived from the Latin word Ovatus, meaning to rejoice, applaud, celebrate. So, when the occasion calls for it. Rise to it. Raise a glass to it. Celebrate it.
