The 2023 Coppabella Single Vineyard Sparkling Chardonnay Pinot Noir is a refined Tumbarumba sparkling wine crafted in a fresh, cool-climate Australian style. Produced from high-altitude vineyard blocks in New South Wales, the blend of Chardonnay and Pinot Noir delivers bright citrus fruit, fine bubbles and crisp natural acidity, reflecting Tumbarumba’s reputation for premium sparkling wine production. Cool fermentation and extended lees contact add texture and subtle complexity while preserving freshness and purity.
On the palate, it is light-bodied and vibrant with a fine, creamy mousse, delivering flavours of lemon zest, green apple, pear and white peach layered with delicate brioche, almond and subtle strawberry notes from the Pinot Noir component. The finish is dry, crisp and mineral-driven, with excellent balance and refreshing acidity carrying through the wine.
Ben’s Recommendation: At Wine More Cellars, this is an excellent sparkling for customers who enjoy elegant cool-climate styles with freshness, fine bubbles and balanced fruit character. Tumbarumba’s altitude and cool nights give the wine precision and lively acidity while maintaining softness and approachability. Best enjoyed well chilled and over the next 2–4 years for maximum freshness and vibrancy. Ideal with oysters, grilled prawns, sushi, soft cheeses or light canapés.
