The De La Terra Cuvée II Methode Traditionelle is a sophisticated and well-crafted sparkling wine that reflects the essence of the estate's unique limestone terroir. Made with hand-picked grapes from low-yielding vines, this sparkling wine follows traditional Champagne winemaking techniques, with 24 months of tirage (aging on lees) to develop its complexity and depth. Clear and pale lemon in colour, the wine’s persistent mousse and fine bubbles are complemented by a crisp, fresh profile, showcasing the perfect balance of fruit-forward elements and restrained yeasty notes.

Rated Excellent & 93+/100 Cameron Douglas MS, June 2023 (2020 Vintage)
"Complex and detailed bouquet with a deep autolysis and scents of baked stone fruits, grapefruit, and developing. Full-bodied and dry on the palate with a mealy mineral and saline texture, flavours reflect the bouquet led by grapefruit, a touch of orange then stone fruit and leesy autolysis attributes. The mousse is bold and expressive with a core of fine bubbles, acidity is high and natural carrying flavour and texture throughout the palate. A delicious example ready to drink from 2023 through 2029. This wine offers exceptional value."
