Ample apples here ― warm yellow and crisp green ― woven with perfumed apple blossoms through this sparkling wine from the Adelaide Hills. Equal parts Chardonnay and Pinot Noir strike a harmonious chord between firm and ripe, between crisp and baked orchard fruits. Streaking pithy citrus acidity is met by a bump of sweetness on the stony, sage-dusted finish. Enough heft and fruity freshness here to handle many dishes (sautéed apple pork chops was a hit).
