Lethbridge Nadeson Collis Inception NV

Nadeson Collis Inception​ This sits firmly in the “grower-style sparkling” space. Not light, not simple, and definitely not trying to imitate mass-produced fizz. It’s built with intent, patience and a clear idea of what it wants to be. At its core is Chardonnay from Drumborg, backed by a small portion of reserve wine from a long-running solera that dates back to 2006. That alone adds a layer of depth you don’t usually find in non-vintage wines. Then there’s the time. Extended ageing on lees, careful oak work and a late disgorgement all shape a wine that feels complete rather than rushed. What you notice first is the texture. It’s fuller, more vinous, almost closer to a white wine with bubbles than a typical sparkling. There’s citrus and green fruit, but also those more savoury notes, brioche, nuts, a touch of honey, even a slight saline edge that gives it definition. This is the kind of bottle you open when you want something with character. Not just refreshing, but genuinely interesting to drink. Shop more Lethbridge wines.
