2022 Bird in Hand 'O' Sparkling

The 2022 'O' Sparkling is a blend of the classic Champagne varietals - Pinot Noir, Pinot Meunier and Chardonnay. This Méthode Champenoise style wine has been aged for two years on lees in bottle before disgorging. 

70% of the grapes were handpicked from the Piccadilly Valley, the coolest subregion within the Adelaide Hills. The remaining are from a unique vineyard that overlooks the Freycinet Peninsula in Tasmania. Here, ripening is long and slow, allowing for the development of intense flavours and retention of natural acidity. 

This is a complex sparkling with fresh strawberry and lemon blossom complimented by toasted hazelnut, brioche and fresh cut red apple. Fine beading adds to the creamy texture and long persistent finish.
