SCHLUMBERGER - STYLE AND TRADITION SINCE 1842. The subtle sparkle of the finest bubbles is what makes Schlumberger so special. Its secret lies in the 'Méthode Traditionnelle', an elaborate production process that Austria's oldest sparkling wine producer has been carefully cultivating and cautiously developing since 1842. In this process, a sparkling speciality matures from pure Austrian top wine: this is how the moussing delicacies of the highest quality are created. Only grapes from the Lower Austrian municipality of Poysdorf are used for this Chardonnay. It owes its name to its founder Robert Alwin Schlumberger. This vintage is limited to 5,000 bottles.
