Ashton Hills Salmon Brut 2009
Light-Medium Bodied, Dry, Sparkling Rose, Pinot Noir, Drink now, 13.5% alc.
This is the new vintage of a fine sparkling wine made from Adelaide Hills Pinot Noir (Method Champenoise). Salmon pink in colour with a full, soft mousse palate and fine persistent bubbles. Strawberry and cherry aromas, and some biscuit / bready complexity. Great length, purity and freshness.
We await reviews of the 2009. The 2008, however, was described as follows:
“Bright pink; high quality pinot provides an array of strawberry and spice flavours; excellent balance and length…” 94 points - James Halliday, Australian Wine Companion 2011
“Ashton Hills is one of Australia’s finest sparkling roses and also one of its best value. Extended ageing on lees contributes biscuity complexity to its gentle strawberry hull and red cherry guise. It’s a delicate, pretty style with great mineraity.” Tyson Stelzer, Wine 100
