O'Leary Walker Hurtle Pinot Noir Chardonnay 2010

There's so many fascinating stories behind the O'Leary Walker label. This sparkling is named after Nick Walker's great grandfather Hurtle who was a sparkling winemaker of some repute in the early 1900's. As the label says, this wine ensures the Walker name is still 'fizzing'.

Bone dry, this a delicious aperitif. A glass certainly hit the spot on a warm afternoon.

Pale straw in appearance, aromas of bread, grapefruit, yeast and lemon rind. Eighteen months on lees has ensured a veneer of creaminess coats the palate whilst also adding some texture and complexity. Made from Adelaide Hills fruit (60/40), there's an acid crunch before a long length sets in. Refreshing indeed and delivers well for the asking price.

I'd be happy to share this with friends no worries at all.

Drink now.

Very good.
