 | MIRANDA SOMERTON BRUT CUVEE |
| "(Griffith, NSW)The grapes for this sparkling wine were picked in March and sourced from the Rivernina, New South Wales, with small parcels from vineyards in South Australia and Victoria. The free run portions of Semillon and Chardonnay were used in this wine to maintain the light delicate floral fruit aromas. A portion of the juice for this wine was fermented, then held on lees to add complexity and body. The balance was cold fermented in stainless steel to enhance the fruit characters. Tasting notes Aromas of straw, citrus and apple from the Semillon combine beautifully with the peach and dried fig aromas of the Chardonnay. The fine effervescence enhances the clean fresh flavours and aromas while helping the finish to remain crisp as it lingers in the mouth. " | |
