Blue Pyrenees - Midnight Cuvee 2022 750ml
"The production of “Methode Traditionnelle” sparkling wines has been an integral part of the winemaking at Blue Pyrenees Estate for many years. In 1992 the team at Blue Pyrenees first experimented with nighttime picking under lights, to optimize both fruit condition and temperature. The night harvesting resulted in an amazing improvement – crisper base wines of outstanding quality, with higher natural acidity and the Midnight Cuvee was born!
The 2022 Midnight cuvee is a blend of the best Chardonnay parcels from our estate vineyards and hand-picked grapes from the ultra-cool Macedon Ranges, and is aged on yeast in bottle for 24 months.
Nose: The aroma is delicate and complex with characteristics of cracked yeast and freshly baked apple strudel and lime.
Mouth: Upon tasting there is a lovely fine mousse in the mouth with lemon sherbet and apple notes on the front palate, followed by a fresh creamy mid palate, then a zippy acid and crisp finish. Plenty of length and beautifully balanced. A young and fresh vibrant wine." -Blue Pyrenees
