Idée Fixe is crafted from the premium, free-run cuvée of handpicked Chardonnay, and meticulous méthode traditionnelle winemaking. A light, elegant form is revealed in the fine, even bead and the brilliant pale yellow hue. The delicate mousse is enhanced by the harmonious structural balance of phenolics and minerality, creating an enticing palate with a citrus-infused acidity, layers of captivating freshness and textural finesse.

The Premier Brut celebrates the fruit’s personality through the conscious direction to make a base Chardonnay of integrity, accentuated with méthode traditionnelle bubbles. A cool, humid growing season followed by moderate ripening conditions in Karridale produced fruit with a bright natural acidity lending perfectly to sparkling wine making. A wine of depth and savoury complexity evolves in the glass over time.

The unmistakable DNA of southern Margaret River Chardonnay and its cool, coastal influence runs through the core. Lifted nuances of struck match and wet stone lead into wisps of freshly shucked oysters and ocean mist. Amidst this coastal symphony, tempting notes of yellow plum, Granny Smith apple pie and almond blossom emerge above hints of Allspice biscuit and sourdough. The sea foam mousse dances gracefully along the palate to unfurl a powerful, spacious finish.
