Eden Valley wine producer, Millon Wines, has launched its debut sparkling wine – Sparkling Chardonnay Pinot Noir.

Crafted with premium Chardonnay and Pinot Noir grapes from Millon’s cool-climate Eden Valley vineyard, the sparkling pour features aromas of lemon zest, green apple, white peach, and almond blossom. The crisp acidity of the palate is layered with ripe stone fruits, pear, and a touch of wild strawberries.

Using the Charmat method, the secondary fermentation takes place in stainless steel tanks to preserve the vibrant fruit character while achieving elegant bubbles. The result is a sparkling wine that’s fresh and balanced.

The company stated that the 2023 vintage saw a vibrant growing season, with cooler temperatures ideal for whites, although hailstorms reduced yields. Despite this, the fruit quality remained high, with longer ripening enhancing flavour depth.

The 2024 vintage benefited from ample rainfall and mild summer conditions, leading to healthy vines and balanced fruit. A cool February extended ripening, resulting in wines with depth and intensity.

Millon Wines Sparkling Chardonnay Pinot Noir is now available online at millonwines.com.au for RRP $27.00.
