• Dry style
• Lemon zest
• Yellow apple
• Vibrant acidity

Lively and bright on the nose with aromas of lemon zest, sweet citrus blossom with hints of biscuit and brioche from time on yeast lees in bottle. Full malolactic fermentation has softened the palate and added a creamy element that complements the citrus and yellow apple flavours. The wine has a long flavoursome finish with a vibrant acidity.

Our Cumulus Méthode Traditionelle Blanc de Blancs with zero dosage is a return to natural authenticity. Elegantly dry in style it exhibits a fine and persistent bead. The perfect aperitif and a great accompaniment through all courses.

Since 1989, Alpha Domus has been dedicated to creating wines with exceptional craftsmanship and an unwavering commitment to quality. A small independent New Zealand owned winery, the name 'Alpha' is derived from our founders, while 'Domus,' from Latin, represents home. Full organic certification further enhances the wines. We work in harmony with nature encouraging biodiversity in the vineyard using naturally derived materials to nourish soil fertility and manage disease. Health is built from the ground up with biologically active soils nurturing robust vines and fruit, improving wine quality and complexity from healthy organic fruit.

The grapes were hand harvested and whole bunch pressed predominantly from our Clone 6 Chardonnay block planted in 1991. Cropping levels were kept to a maximum of 10 tonnes/ha through controlled pruning in winter and canopy management through the growing season. Harvested early with optimum sugar ripeness and flavour for Méthode Traditionelle, this Chardonnay clone has been specifically selected for its bright citrus freshness, and light elegant structure on the palate.
