Full Case (12 Bottles) - Ashton Hills 2005 Salmon Brut (Methode Champenoise) 100% Pinot NoirPrice: $330.00 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." Highest pointed of "7 Top Australian Rose Fizzes" (Tony Love in The Advertiser 5/12/07):- "ASHTON HILLS 2005 SALMON BRUT 13.5% $32.50 Retail 93 Points 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."
