Dozen Price: $515.88
RRP: $55.00
Oakridge's 2016 release of the Local Vineyard Series Blanc de Blancs has aromas of glazed pastry, sourdough and green nectarine. So lightly toasty and fresh. There’s yeast and a clotted cream character that add a sense of depth. Finely detailed. The palate is creamy and textural with a delicate with a lacy web of acidity interwoven throughout. Cream, yeast, granny smith apples and buttery pastry flavours flow along before finishing with a preserved-lemon like tang. Flavoursome, complex and vibrant from start to finish.
"Boy this is rich. A shrinking violet it is not. Peach, toast, custard and cooked apples, with yeast, honey and sweet biscuit notes drifting throughout. Rich/flavoursome sparkling wine like this is rare in Australia; it has to be applauded. One sip and you are well aware that this is a confident release of above-average quality."
