2022 Chardonnay Pinot Noir
Hunter Valley – Chardonnay 58% | Pinot Noir 40% – Traditional Bottle Fermentation
Tiraged in February 2023 and aged for 2 years on lees, this sparkling wine presents a bright straw colour with a fine, persistent bead.
The aroma bursts with fresh citrus – lemon zest and grapefruit – lifted by a hint of ripe berries.
On the palate, citrus rind and crunchy pear lead the way. As the wine moves across the mid-palate, subtle almond notes and a whisper of strawberry emerge, adding gentle complexity. The yeast influence is restrained, allowing the vibrant fruit to shine while still providing a soft mouthfeel and palate weight. The finish is crisp and zesty, with lingering notes of grapefruit and lemon that refresh the palate.
Food Pairing: Perfect as a pre-dinner aperitif, or alongside light to medium-intensity seafood and white meat dishes.
Serving Suggestion: Serve well-chilled (below 4°C). Refrigerate for 24 hours before opening, or chill in wet ice for 2–3 hours.
