It's generally rather handy to know of an acceptable fizz such as may be required for large gatherings. This example from Barossa behemoth Wolf Blass incorporates the classic varieties for sparkling: Chardonnay and Pinot Noir.
Hints of lemon curd on approach, flint and a bready/ leesy background. Some fair persistence with a cut 'n' thrust sherbet attack, I found it quite aggressive and lively in the mouth, not a wine of finesse. Some creaminess adds a little extra, but it falls some way of a good length. Decent minerally texture, good aperitif style and at the current direct price of $11 p/b will serve well as mentioned. 87 - Average
