Blue Pyrenees Estate Midnight Cuvée Sparkling 2024

Blue Pyrenees Midnight Cuvée 2024 brings together the fresh apple and citrus of a young sparkling wine with the creamy texture of time on lees. Made from Chardonnay and Pinot Noir grown in the Pyrenees and Macedon Ranges, it spends 18 months on yeast in bottle before release.

The Midnight Cuvée takes its name from Blue Pyrenees' early experiments with night harvesting, which began in 1992 to bring cooler fruit into the winery and preserve natural acidity. That commitment to freshness remains central to the wine today, complemented by the gentle complexity developed through traditional-method bottle ageing.

Tasting Notes

Colour: Pale straw, with a fine, persistent bead.

Nose: Freshly baked apple strudel, yeast and a bright lift of lime.

Palate: Apple and lemon sherbet arrive with a fine mousse, opening into a fresh, creamy mid-palate.

Finish: Crisp and lively, with refreshing acidity and good length.

Food & Serving

Serve well chilled with oysters, lobster or a fresh green salad. The citrus and acidity suit light seafood, while the creamy texture gives it enough presence to stay at the table through the meal.

Equally at home as an aperitif or alongside a seafood lunch, this is a versatile sparkling wine with the freshness to welcome guests and the texture to carry through a meal.
