Tasting Notes - Ross Estate Sparkling Chardonnay / Pinot Noir (Recommended)

Unlike so many Aussie sparklers - this wine doesn't taste like cheap Champagne and it doesn't rip the roof of your mouth with harsh acidity and it has no astringent, unpleasant aftertaste. So for me it is a definite stand out. Golden yellow colour with fine, very persistent bead, aromas reminiscent of fresh bread and Summer meadows. The mousse was a little bit lacking but the rich flavours of peach, nectarine and walnut combined with a fresh crispness makes for balanced wine with a lingering soft finish which is extremely pleasing. With this wine there is depth of flavour and good structure that is subtle and refreshing. - Recommended
