Unveiling the Distinctive Blend of Vines, Soil, and Climate at Weyborne Estate

Family Reserve is the bottled essence of the annual production from five vineyard blocks at Weyborne’s single vineyard estate with the idea of capturing the unique terroir and interplay of vines, soil and climate. Family Reserve is a Chardonnay led cuvée, so Blanc de Blancs in style, with the intensity and elegance this noble grape variety brings.Weyborne_Estate_Family_Reserve_Brut_2018_WBSS24_1

The two Pinot grape varieties, Noir and Meunier provide a supporting act of vibrancy, power and body. The Family Reserve is a vintage reflection of the Weyborne Estate and in 2018 was dealt a near perfect hand for growing world-class sparkling wine. After four years of maturation the 2018 was bottled in 2022 with zero dosage to allow the essence of Weyborne to be revealed in its truest and purest state.
