Blue Pyrenees Estate Midnight Cuvee Sparkling 2015
Reviews and Awards
The Blue Pyrenees Estate Midnight Cuvee 2015 has won the following accolades;
Trophy 2018 Victorian Wine Show
Silver Medal 2019 China Wine & Spirit Awards Best Value
"Light to mid-yellow colour, with some fluffy yeast aromas overlying lemon meringue nuances, the palate soft and creamy-textured, with a little well-managed liqueur and delicate but intense flavour. Lots of lemon and other citrus flavours. Delicious and refreshing. It’s a classic blanc de blancs style, the finish very refreshing, crisp and near-dry."

Blue Pyrenees Estate was established in 1963 by the French company Remy Martin, and was among the modern Australian wine industry’s first ventures into cool climate viticulture. Blue Pyrenees is 100 per cent Australian owned now and is led by Chief Winemaker Andrew Koerner. Proud of the fact that all of their wines are made from grapes grown in their vineyards and produced in their estate winery, Blue Pyrenees Estate are committed to making authentic, world class-quality wines.
The production of “Methode Traditionnelle” (fermented in this bottle) sparkling wines has been an integral part of the winemaking at Blue Pyrenees Estate for many years. Although handpicked fruit is desirable for the production of premium sparkling juices, daytime temperatures in most Australian wine regions mean that hand-picked fruit is often too warm when received into the press. So in 1992 the team at Blue Pyrenees decided to experiment with hand picking at night, under lights, to optimize both fruit condition & temperature. The results were an amazing improvement — crisper cuvee (free drained) juices of outstanding quality, with higher natural acidity. The Blue Pyrenees Estate Midnight Cuvee 2015 was born! In another first for Blue Pyrenees, during harvest 2014, handpicked Chardonnay & Pinot Noir grapes from Macedon Ridge vineyard, were whole bunch pressed, then included with the best Chardonnay parcels from the Blue Pyrenees Estate vineyard, to again lift the natural acidity & freshness of the blend.
