Printhie Swift 2013 Vintage Sparkling

Awarded the Winewise Champion Sparkling 2020 against the best sparklings in the country. We have used the two classic Champagne varieties to create the Swift Vintage  Chardonnay and Pinot Noir. The 2011 vintage is a hard act to follow but the 2012 more than accounts for itself in another outstanding release with extended yeast lees ageing. The combination of a citrus backbone and red fruited mid-palate produces a lovely fruit profile. Add in the 6 years of lees ageing in bottle to build flavour and textural complexity and a touch of aldehyde to really lift the aromatics and you can see why we get excited about this wine .
