2024 Blue Pyrenees Midnight Cuvée

See
A brilliant pale straw with a very fine bead of persistent gentle bubbles.

Smell
An aroma which is delicate and complex with characteristics of cracked yeast, freshly baked apple strudel and lime. 

Taste
Initially taste a lovely fine mousse in the mouth with lemon sherbet and apple notes on the front palate, followed by a fresh creamy mid palate and finally a zippy acid and crisp finish. Plenty of length and beautifully balanced. A young and fresh vibrant wine.

Winemaking Notes
The production of “Methode Traditionnelle” sparkling wines has been an integral part of the winemaking at Blue Pyrenees Estate for many years. In 1992 the team at Blue Pyrenees first experimented with nighttime picking under lights, to optimize both fruit condition and temperature. The night harvesting resulted in an amazing improvement – crisper base wines of outstanding quality, with higher natural acidity and the Midnight Cuvee was born!
The 2024 Midnight Cuvee is a blend of the best Chardonnay parcels from our estate vineyards and hand-picked grapes from the ultra-cool Macedon Ranges, and is aged on yeast in bottle for 24 months.

Food Pairing
Food pairing suggestion (i.e. serving suggestions, serving temperature, etc.)
