About This Wine
Sidewood Estate Sparkling is composed of two grape varieties - 60% Pinot Noir and 40% Chardonnay, both of which were harvested from the celebrated Adelaide Hills wine region. The resulting blend offers lively aromas of strawberry, lemon citrus, apple, lime, pear and repressed notes of biscotti. The palate is treated to an elegant and well combined extravaganza of intense strawberry, nectarine and cashew characters, further enhanced by partial malolactic fermentation and extended time on yeast lees. The natural acidity of the resulting blends provides structure and finesse, leading to a citrus and nougat finish. Being a versatile wine style, it pairs well with foods such as caviar, smoked salmon, tandoori kebabs, and even popcorn and potato chips.

Adelaide Hills
The Adelaide Hills is one of the largest geographical wine regions in Australia, and amongst the most diverse in terms of climate, soil and topography. Because of this, many different varietals are planted here with the most dominant being Sauvignon Blanc, Chardonnay, Pinot Noir and Pinot Gris. It is generally thought of as a cooler region, especially when compared to neighbouring Barossa to the north and Mclaren vale and Langhorne Creek to the south.
NZ Marlborough Sauvignon Blanc has been popular in Australia for a while now, but Adelaide hills Sauvignon Blanc (the most planted grape in the region) could be considered the Aussie Savvy Blanc. From www.adelaidehillswine.com.au about their Sauvignon Blanc: “Wines that are textured, edgy, vibrant and dry with exceptional fruit definition, length and crispness that marry superbly with summer seafood.”
You can also find some cool climate shiraz from the Adelaide hills, defying the more common big bold style that is usually seen in Australian Shiraz.
