2017 Coldstream Hills Sparkling Pinot Noir Chardonnay

Coldstream Hills has been making sparkling wine, albeit in small quantities, since 1995. The first release of the wine was a Blanc de Noir, but in more recent times, it has been a more traditional blend of Pinot Noir and Chardonnay.

Nose - Fine and restrained with subtle lemony Chardonnay notes and hints of Pinot perfume. Time on lees has given rise to attractive secondary notes of breadcrust and fresh toast.

Palate - Attractive toasty, bready aromas with underlying lemon fruit characters entice the nose. A fine style of sparkling wine, youthful lemon characters with mid palate texture from the pinot noir. The finish is crisp & balanced, with fine acidity.
