St Aidan Sparkling Chardonnay 2022

Tasting Notes

• Colour: Pale straw with a fine, persistent bead
• Aromatics: Honeysuckle, cream cheese, dry hay, red apple, citrus, and subtle brioche
• Palate: A tantalising balance of apple pie and lemon sherbet, underpinned by mid-palate richness and finishing with linear precision and freshness

Winemaker’s Note

“Our Sparkling Chardonnay is all about harmony – fruit vibrancy supported by traditional winemaking techniques that bring both texture and finesse. Year after year, it remains one of our most celebrated wines.”

Viticulture & Winemaking

• 🔹 Region: Ferguson Valley, WA
• 🔹 Varietal: 100% Chardonnay
• 🔹 Harvest: Hand-picked for balance and freshness
• 🔹 Vinification:
  ✔ Traditional method (bottle fermentation)

Sustainability & Vineyard Care

Saint Aidan practises responsible viticulture in the Ferguson Valley, focusing on careful hand-harvesting and minimal intervention to allow site character to shine. The emphasis is on quality over quantity, with fruit managed for balance and freshness.

I have been buying my wines from Kirk for about two years now and I have never had a bad experience or wine. I love the fact that the wines are all West Australian, so supporting local and lower carbon footprint. He delivers when it’s convenient for me and brings the wine to my door.  Wines are all good quality and well priced, especially the cleanskins. Highly recommended

I've been ordering from Partners in Wine for three years now - from the UK for my sister living in Perth. Each time they've been bang on with my order including  on time delivery. Kirk has also helped me select my wines from an extensive list.  A very pleasant and friendly company to deal with. I would highly recommend them.
