Nadeson Collis Coda NV from Henty, Victoria is a thrilling, bone-dry Australian sparkling meticulously crafted by Ray Nadeson and Maree Collis. This rare perpetual blend – started in 2006 – combines Chardonnay and Pinot Noir with touches of Pinot Meunier and Pinot Gris, each vintage building elegant, layered complexity. Aromatics burst from the glass: wild sherry-like notes, toasted nuts and citrus over oyster shell, dried apple and a savoury umami lift. It’s powerful yet detailed, with creamy mousse, bracing freshness and striking oxidative character. “Wow. This is impressive. Wild. So nutty, savoury, whiffs of fino sherry, dried apple, faint farmhouse cider… So complex, so interesting, rich, powerful statement in its way and so very delicious. An experience in the glass. Brilliant.” – Mike Bennie (The Wine Front). Nadeson Collis Coda NV received 96 points from Mike Bennie, affirming its place among the most intriguing and singular sparkling wines in Australia.
