Seppelt The Drives Chardonnay Pinot Noir Sparkling NV 750mL

Seppelt The Drives Chardonnay Pinot Noir Sparkling NV is an elegant Victorian sparkling wine named after the labyrinth of excavated tunnels stretching beneath the Seppelt Winery, where generations of wines have slowly matured since 1868. Pale straw with a generous mousse; strawberries and cream on the nose with a hint of brown sugar and lime; crisp and elegant yet creamy on the palate, with citrus, rock melon, and warm butter toast. Refreshing fruit characters supported by subtle yeast complexity and bright acidity.
