ASHTON HILLS SALMON BRUT (Methode Champenoise) 100% Pinot Noir

Ashton Hills Vineyard (Stephen George) says:

"Salmon pink with blue edges this wine was made entirely from pinot noir grapes and was fermented in the bottle in which it is sold. Strawberry and cherry aromas and flavours are from the fruit and the biscuity flavour is due to time spent on dead yeast lees in the bottle.

There's a fine bead of bubbles and a crisp, clean lingering finish. From a top year for pinot noir in the Piccadilly Valley."

Richer pink tones give away the maker's intention to impress, with exotic turkish delight and perfumed roses showing from start to finish, aided by a light dusting of texture, fine bubble and gorgeous strawberry pith finish."

2004 BLANC DE BLANCS (Methode Champenoise) 100% Chardonnay

Ashton Hills Vineyard (Stephen George) says:

"2004 was such an abundant and quality vintage for us that we decided to use chardonnay for another Blanc de Blancs as well as for table wine. The wine - using white juice from white-skinned fruit - was left on its yeast lees in the bottle for a minimum of 30 months before disgorging. Best drunk very cold.

Now you know you're drinking chardonnay, with seductive stone fruits and apples at the start, just a touch of yeast, well balanced, fruit driven, not over-acidic with a fine mousse and long lasting finish. Ace."
