A step up from this producer's sparkling Shiraz offering, this Coonawarra bubbly is mostly Chardonnay with a bit of Pinot Noir. At first sniff, aromas are intense if a little odd: Ripe pineapple, apple, honey and toast are all there. The palate is easier to wrap your mouth—and head—around: Acidity is bright; bubbles are vigorous; the mouthfeel is slippery and tangy. A fruity, easygoing bubbly that delivers solidly for the price.
