5 Star Value Rating:      Rating: 93/100 Category: Sparkling Wines Case Size: 6 bottles Year: 2007 Jack's Comments: This is a very elegant smart sparkling that will be sure to impress. It has a lovely yeasty creamy texture that is complemented by wonderful lively bubbles. It has been bottle fermented which allows for excellent weight structure and a lovely finish to enjoy. A superb sparkling for and occasion. Winemaker's Comments: The grapes were picked in late January at optimum ripeness and were gently pressed to extract the juice with minimal colour pick-up. The juice was then fermented in stainless steel at approximately 18 oC for two weeks. Following primary fermentation, the wine was left in tank on its yeast lees for
seven months, prior to filtration, before undergoing ‘tirage’ bottling in January 2008. The wine was stored for almost two years, after which time it was disgorged and liqueured while remaining in its original bottle. Alc 12%
The pinot noir and chardonnay combine well to create a sparkling wine that on the nose gives off fine yeasty and biscuit dough aromas. These two components carry over on to the palate, with the yeastiness adding a creamy texture and generous fruit flavours giving good weight and length. The acid on the finish balances and refreshes the palate. Blend: Pinot Noir, Chardonnay Region: Hunter Valley
