Greg Norman Estates Sparkling Chardonnay Pinot Noir NV

South Australia, AustraliaThe Greg Norman sparkler is a non-vintage blend of 57 percent chardonnay and 43 percent pinot noir all hand-picked from vineyards within Adelaide Hills, Langhorne Creek and McLaren Vale. Cashew, creamy lees, green apple, citrus nose with some pear streaks. It's bottle-fermented using traditional Champagne methods and aged 24 months prior to disgorgement. Look for a crisp, fresh sparkler that is well balanced with a fine elegant mousse. Slightly sweet with citrus, baked apple, nutty, creamy strawberry flavours. Long citrus, nutty green apple finish and good clean acidity. Drink all summer in the afternoon on your deck after that big hole in one.Tasted: 25 May 2004Tasted by: Anthony Gismondi and Stuart TobePrices:
