De Bortoli Windy Peak Pinot Noir Chardonnay NV

windy peak nvSourced from various regions in Victoria. Judging from this bottle (which is fraught with danger as it’s NV and released in batches) it’s a shame you don’t see it more often on Queensland retail shelves. Sure it doesn’t have great depth and the Charmat method lends it a slightly coarser feel but it drinks surprisingly well for the price.

Seems very Pinot dominant. Strawberries and cherries with a little citrus cut. A touch creamy, a little biscuity and a reasonably dry finish. Has some body if little in the way of complexity. A ‘serve cold and relax’ sort of sparkling. No thought needed. 87
