Description
A still white wine from Australia, specifically Tasmania, 12% ABV, produced by Domaine Simha. 100% Chardonnay, 2021 vintage. A wine born from the passion of Nav Singh and Louise Radman, who have created a cutting-edge approach based on ancient knowledge. Hand-picked during the full moon, the grapes are pressed, followed by spontaneous fermentation and a new demi-muïd. Aged 12 months on the lees. On the nose, notes of crocus blossom, lemon, and almond milk.

Pairings
Handmade in micro batches, just 2-3 barrels of each Domaine Simha wine are made. At heart lies Tasmania’s pristine natural environment, sparkling air and ancient soil. Hunting magical vineyards in the upper Derwent, Coal River and Huon Valleys, Domaine Simha partners with expert growers. The dream is to plant our own patch of land some day. Nav Singh mastered the craft of wine in Australia and honed his skills in the prestigious chateaux of Burgundy and Bordeaux. His single vineyard wines are shaped au naturel to harness the provenance of epic Tasmanian terroir and season. Methods embrace harvesting by lunar cycle on fruit and flower days, whole cluster wild fermentation with traditional pigeage, maturation in custom demi-muid oak and clay amphorae, basket pressing, unfined and unfiltered bottling with perfect natural balance.
The house of Simha originates from sanskrit word for lion. To honour an heroic heritage, Domaine Simha wines take their titles from royalty and legends of the Orient. Read more
