It’s delightfully expressed on the nose with white-fleshed peach, lemon peel, floral, and oatmeal characters, followed by a beautifully rounded palate offering bright fruit flavours with creamy texture and vibrant acidity, finishing lingering and delectable.

Katrina Butler - Halliday Wine Companion

Leaning into the typically bright, sparkling profile of the Adelaide Hills, this wine has the hallmarks of the region, with racy acidity and lemon and green apple flavours. This also has the complexity of nougat, gingersnap biscuit and sugared almonds – just a touch of RS. Sidewood hasn't strayed from its vision to make its portfolio accessible; this wine embodies the message.

It is delightfully fragrant on the nose showing red apple, lemon peel, rockmelon and floral characters. The palate is juicy and vibrant, and offers silky mouthfeel and bright fruit intensity, nicely structured by refreshing acidity. A good-looking sparkling wine made from two classic grapes offering fabulous drinking.

Straightforward fizz with an touch of sophistication. The dosage sticks out amidst stone fruits and sherbet notes. A creamy core of nougat and nuts imparts a dollop of complexity. This needs a heavy chill to mitigate the sweetness.

Mike Bennie - Halliday Wine Companion

This is a soft, simple, washy and creamy, brisk sparkling wine with a very simple flavour profile, mute perfume and bubbles that sizzle then disappear. It's low rent in feel but does have high refreshment factor and a cool, tart finish to zest things up. OK.

Joe Czerwinski - Robert Parker Wine Advocate

The NV Sparkling Pinot Noir Chardonnay (a 60/40 blend) shows just a bit of toasty-yeasty complexity but focuses more on the apple and citrus fruit. It's light in body with a fine bead of ample yet soft acidity on the long finish. Best poured as a refreshing apéritif.
