WINE: GRANT BURGE Pinot Noir Chardonnay NV

Type: Sparkling White
Origin: Australia
Approx Cost: $20

A methode traditionelle sparkling, which is always good to see. Well packaged, which is somewhat of a change for Australian wines. Mousse isn’t anything special, likewise the bead which doesn’t last too long. Light straw with a hint of red. Light, complex aroma. Tastes of biscuit and stone fruit. Smokey. Hints of crispness. Finish is quite dry. Would go well with canapés.

Complex wine and decent value, but lacking something special. At times it feels like a muddle of flavours. Better options for the price that are worth trying.
