The 2021 vintage is proving to be a superb one in the Adelaide Hills for table wines, and it looks as though it is just as thrilling for sparklings. This is from the Piccadilly Valley subregion. The vineyard was planted thirty years ago. 100% Chardonnay, of course, the wine spent over 3½ years on lees before disgorgement. Dosage is a low 4 grams per litre. A deep yellow/pineapple hue, the nose reveals aromas of peaches, citrus, nectarines, a flick of honeysuckle, florals and jasmine. This is clean, fresh and lingering with good balance and a fine line of acidity. A really good Australian sparkling wine. Enjoy this over the next six to ten years.
