Lona Méthode Traditionnelle Semillon 2022
Lona’s Story
Lona Valerie O’Reilly (nee Murphy), loving wife of second generation family member Vince, is a respected matriarch of the O’Reilly family. For almost 40 years, Lona looked after the financial responsibilities of the O’Reilly’s business, while also raising their 10 children on the mountain.
This wine is a celebration, not only of Lona, but of all the mothers and the unconditional love they share with their families.
Lona Méthode Traditionnelle Sémillon 2022
Our 2022 Lona Méthode Traditionnelle Sémillon showcases true elegance in a classic sparkling style. Its delicate and floral profile opens with green apple, grapefruit, and white blossoms, enriched by the subtle brioche and flaky-pastry notes developed through two years of ageing on lees. The palate is beautifully refined, offering soft, bread-like texture, gentle acidity, and lingering flavours of lemon curd, exotic pear, and biscuit. A stunning match for fresh seafood.
Crafted using the traditional method, this wine undergoes a secondary fermentation in the bottle to create its fine, persistent bubbles. Extended ageing “on lees”—resting the wine on spent yeast—encourages autolysis, building creamy texture and complex aromas of pastry and nuttiness. This patient, labour-intensive process is what sets Méthode Traditionnelle wines apart.
Wine Club Members can also enjoy this wine as part of their seasonal packs, with full flexibility to customise their selections.
