Hanging Rock Macedon Cuvee Late disgorged NV VII
|
| |
|
|
$110 a bottle for a current release Australian sparkling wine might seem implausible, if not outrageous. But if you want to find out just how close the wine in question comes to the style of Bollinger, the price takes on a different make-up. The LD Hanging Rock Cuvée Six (96 points) spent almost nine years on lees before disgorging in September this year. Its excellent fine mousse attests to its very long lees contact, as does its immaculate balance, despite its low dosage of only 2g per litre of sugar.
The complex bready/biscuity characters of the palate are reminiscent of Bollinger, and very good acidity stretches out the long, lingering finish.
