Daosa Natural Reserve NV

A non-vintage blend of the trio of great champagne grapes, Chardonnay (39%), Pinot Noir (60%) and Pinot Meunier (1%), from the Piccadilly Valley in the Adelaide Hills. The base wine is combined with reserve wine, which has spent a year or two in large oak. This is the sixth release of this wine, which usually spends between fifteen and twenty-two months on lees. A very pale lemon colour here, the aromas weave through garden herbs, spices, lemons, a hint of raspberry and a touch of honeycomb. A medium length sparkler with a soft and appealing texture. Tight and focused with decent length, I like it a lot. Now for the next three to four years.
