The 2026 Emmalene Kooli is a fresh and lightly spritzed dry white from the Adelaide Hills, inspired by the vibrant wines of northern Spain and Portugal. A blend of Chardonnay, Gewürztraminer and Sauvignon Blanc, it shows crisp green apple, pear and citrus alongside delicate florals, fresh herbs and subtle mineral notes.
On the palate, it is light, dry and energetic, with bright acidity and a gentle natural spritz bringing freshness to pear, citrus and green apple flavours. Slow fermentation in stainless steel preserves the wine’s aromatic purity, while retaining a touch of carbon dioxide from fermentation gives it its distinctive fine fizz. The finish is crisp, clean and refreshing.
Ben’s Recommendation:
At Wine More Cellars, this is an excellent choice for drinkers looking for a light, dry Australian white with vibrant fruit, refreshing acidity and a gentle spritz. Its crisp profile makes it particularly versatile with food. Ideal with oysters, grilled prawns, fresh seafood, sushi, ceviche, Mediterranean salads or fresh cheeses.
