Moppity Vineyards 'Lock & Key' New South Wales Sparkling Chardonnay Pinot Noir 2022 - 12 Bottles

Product Description

Winery Background

Moppity Vineyards is run by Jason and Alecia Brown in the Hilltops and Tumbarumba regions of New South Wales. The Lock & Key range delivers well-crafted sparkling wines with clarity and freshness at great value.

Vineyards and Vintage Conditions

Fruit is sourced from cool hilltop vineyards in Tumbarumba and Hilltops. The combination of warm days and cool nights preserves natural acidity while allowing citrus and stone fruit character to develop. Although labelled non-vintage, the 2023 release continues this style of bright, consistent expression..

Winemaking Process

Secondary fermentation takes place in stainless steel tanks to generate fine bubbles and preserve purity. After resting on lees the wine is filtered, stabilised and bottled as a 750 ml sparkling sealed with crown cap. This method ensures freshness, structure and drinkability.

Tasting Notes

Aroma presents brioche and citrus blossom. On the palate look for crisp green apple, lemon zest and gentle spice. The texture is smooth and creamy yet backed by bright acidity. The finish is long, lively and refreshing, offering more structure than might be expected at this price point.

Food Pairing

Perfect as an aperitif or with shellfish, sushi, fresh salads or mild cheeses. Its acidity and texture make it an easy companion to light spiced dishes and fresh herb-driven snacks.

Story Behind the Wine

Designed for everyday occasions and crafted in a signature Moppity style, this sparkling is compact in format but generous in flavour. It offers value without reducing the quality or regional character of its Hilltops heritage.
