2021 Adelaide Hills Blanc de Noirs
2021 Adelaide Hills Blanc de Noirs
($46.75 Wine Club price)
Our bottle fermented Blanc de Noirs is made from 100% Adelaide Hills Pinot Noir grapes hence the name Blanc de Noirs. The Pinot Noir we source for this wine comes from the old Seppelts Partalunga Vineyard in the Adelaide Hills. This vineyard produces extraordinary fruit that not only has wonderful flavours for still red pinot noir, but when picked early retains its natural acidity which is a hallmark of great Sparkling wines.
The new release 2021 Blanc de Noirs was disgorged in August 2023. This disgorgement is extraordinarily fresh and just jumps out of the glass. A wine that will drink well now, in a year or many more.

The 2021 Vintage Blanc de Noirs is a very pale with a tinge of copper. An elegant Australian Sparkling wine, showing alluring aromas of cream biscuits, brioche and fresh citrus and strawberry fruit. The wine has a delicate creamy mouth feel, a fine bead and is balanced with natural acidity.
This is our first disgorgement of this wine from the sensational 2021 vintage. Wonderful now or in the future.

2019 ADELAIDE HILLS Blanc de Noirs
2023 James Halliday Wine Companion (Dave Brookes)
94 Points - 100% pinot noir, méthode traditionnelle, disgorged in October 2021. An impressive sparkling wine from the Adelaide Hills. Pale straw in the glass with enthusiastic fine bubbles racing to the surface. Aromas of crisp apple and citrus fruits with some redcurrant notes in the distance. Hints of soft spice, white flowers, brioche, clotted cream, Monte Carlo biscuits and crushed quartz. These characters neatly transpose to the palate, which is vibrant and vivid with excellent tension, drive and stony pizzaz.
