Vondeling, Little Sparkle, Sparkling Wine N/A, Limited Release
Story
Inspired by the pioneering spirit behind Vondeling’s limited-release Méthode Ancestrale, Little Sparkle brings that same sense of finesse and energy to a more accessible, everyday celebration. Crafted from premium Chardonnay grown on cool, south-facing slopes, this wine was born from a desire to offer a high-quality sparkling experience to all — without compromise.
Tasting Notes
Little Sparkle opens with a fine citrus and brioche bouquet, typical of premium sparkling Chardonnay. On the palate, it’s bright and lively, with tiny streams of bubbles and a delicate creamy finish. The balance of freshness and softness makes it elegant yet joyful — a wine that uplifts without overpowering.
A perfect musical pairing is "Je veux vivre" from Gounod’s Roméo et Juliette. This youthful, sparkling aria mirrors the wine’s exuberance and charm — a celebration of life’s pleasures, full of shimmering coloratura. The aria’s effervescence and freedom pair beautifully with Little Sparkle’s crisp energy and finesse.
Food Pairing
Enjoy with smoked salmon and cucumber sandwiches, or pair with fresh West Coast oysters.
Winemaker’s Note
Grapes for this wine come from steep, south-facing vineyards on Vondeling’s estate, where cooler conditions help preserve acidity. Whole-bunch pressed to retain purity, the juice is fermented in stainless steel with a neutral yeast to ensure subtlety. Aged on the lees for a minimum of seven months, the wine gains complexity and creaminess through natural autolysis. It is bottled under high pressure at 5.4 bars, capturing its lively sparkle.
