Golding Marjorie Blanc de Blancs Sparkling 2016 from the Adelaide Hills is a serious, vintage‑dated chardonnay sparkling that shows just how classy this region can be. Sourced from high‑altitude Lenswood vineyards and aged a massive 66 months on lees, it pours with a fine, persistent bead and aromas of iced pastries, citrus and discreet toast. It feels refined, tightly wound and beautifully composed.​

On the palate, Marjorie Blanc de Blancs 2016 is all about creamy texture and length – delicate citrus and green apple fruit wrapped in brioche, pastry and subtle nutty richness. A very low dosage around 4 g/L keeps it dry, precise and refreshingly clean through the finish. It’s still remarkably youthful for its age, with years of positive development ahead.​

Golding Marjorie Blanc de Blancs Sparkling 2016 is superb as an aperitif or alongside oysters, sashimi, scallop crudo or fine white‑fish dishes, where its acidity and elegance shine. It will also handle lighter poultry or creamy entrees, making it a brilliant choice for special dinners and celebrations. A trophy at the Royal Adelaide Wine Show and a 94‑point score confirm it’s top‑tier fizz.​
