Pinot Noir Chardonnay blends for sparkling wines are the traditional styles that work with foods such as Asian style entrées or mains, French style entrées and something food that are a bit spicy with tomato bases such as Mexican food. The bubbles in many Sparkling wines come from a secondary fermentation in the bottle but the majority of cheaper wine are soda streamed in the bottle to produce the bubbles before release. This wine fits into the higher end of the market and is lees aged for a fare time before release. The lees ageing allows a for a creamy texture and flavour to develop.
Mount William Sparkling Pinot Noir Chardonnay 2004
On the nose there are aroma's of cherry blossom, crème fresh, strawberry jam, roasted nuts and toasted fresh bread. These flavour transfer over to the palate rather well in a supremely elegant and thoughtful style. The entry of the wine is good as it hit all the right receptors, as does the mid-palate and it is added by a creamy texture which leaves my mouth coated with goodness. For the price this is a beauty for any special event and gives the French a good run for its money.
