Blue Gables Sparkling Chardonnay Pinot Gris
When we visited the Blue Gables Vineyard cellar door earlier this year they were sold out of this sparkling wine made with Chardonnay and Pinot Gris grapes – I was guttered as I really wanted to try it!
Recently I came across a bottle of it at The Hunting Ground in Sale for $40 and I couldn’t resist. I have to admit, I thought the $40 price tag was a bit steep initially, however, after trying it, I’ll definitely be buying it again!
It’s a crisp silver colour in the glass with a wonderful clarity and teeny tiny bubbles. On the nose, I pick up whiffs of tropical fruits with a pinch of baking spice and a squeeze of lemon. In the mouth, it’s incredibly elegant and dry with crisp pears, a hint of almonds and refreshing lemon acidity dominating for me. Beautiful!
