Bangor 2022 Abel Tasman Pinot Noir lebrina BEST SPARKLING WINE – 2021Bangor at Dunalley in southern tas is farmed by the fourth generation of the Dunbabin family, who are relatives of the Dunbabins of Milton Vineyard, and also Six Friends. Michele's notes: Medium ruby with magenta flashes. Aromas of raspberry brioche with savoury gamey elements. Ferrous stone too. Quite complex. Vivacious in the mouth with excellent pinot energy and tang. The flavours bounce around deliciously. Chalky tannins at the finish.
