2017 Pinot Noir M.T. Brut Nature by Toppers Mountain Wines

A note from the maker :

“Topper’s Mountain unique terroir arises from its high elevation location on the western edge of the Great Dividing Range and deep, volcanic soils.

Mark Kirkby established the vineyard between 1998 and 2002, with his family. The vineyard was planted with rare varieties, chosen to make the most of the unique terroir.

This is a serious gastronomic sparkling wine which underwent extended 58 months long aging on the lees. It is made exclusively from Pinot Noir and has been disgorged without any dosage (Brut Nature).

Tasting Notes :

At Topper’s, a new vintage always means a new recipe. While the 2015 Traditional Method sparkling was 60% Chardonnay and 40% Pinot Noir the 2016 is made from Pinot Noir only (Blanc de Noirs) which can be easily detected by the salmon hue. 2016 was a warm vintage providing this wine with generous flavours of dark cherries, black berries, strawberry jam and hints of liquorice as well as cherry blossom & herbal notes. All carried by smooth mousse beautifully combined with refreshing yet soft acidity. This being the first time that we decided not to add any dosage (Brut Nature) to retain the sweet & savoury dry finish with a cherry liquor & dried raspberries like aftertaste. Extended 58 months long aging on the lees added a creamy texture and hint of dark bread crust. This is a serious gastronomic sparkling wine. Try it with steak tartare to experience the ultimate sparkling wine & food pairing.”
