Vinifera Sparkling Madeleine Mudgee 2023

Sparkling wine from Mudgee is not a commonly encountered category and this example is from organically grown Chardonnay. The colour is very pale, indeed near transparent. This is a youthful sparkler, fresh and bright. The flavours are very much upfront here with lemon and grapefruit, supported by a minerally backing. If it can develop some extra length, it would be all the better for it, but is still very pleasant drinking at the moment.
