Gudilly Adelaide Sparkling Pinot Chardonnay NV

Simon Sorby Adams is one of this country’s most experienced winemakers and now offers, as well as his Sorby Adams label, wines under the Gudilly tag – this being an amalgam of his kids’ names. One assumes that the next generation will lead the way in next to no time. This fresh and vibrant sparkler is made from a blend of Chardonnay and Pinot Noir. It has a reasonable level of residual sweetness making it, so we are assured, attractive to that younger generation. Simple in style but very easily enjoyed, this is deep yellow in colour. It is broadly structured with notes of stonefruits, rose petals, apricot kernels, herbs and nuts. Very much an upfront style with a pleasing texture, quite creamy in texture and mid-length, this is for drinking now.
