Brilliant pale straw with a very fine bead of persistent gentle bubbles. The aroma is delicate and complex with characteristics of cracked yeast and freshly baked apple strudel and lime.

Upon tasting there is a lovely fine mousse in the mouth with lemon sherbet and apple notes on the front palate, followed by a fresh creamy mid palate, then a zippy acid and crisp finish.  Plenty of length and beautifully balanced. A young and fresh vibrant wine.

The production of “Methode Traditionnelle” (fermented in this bottle) sparkling wines has been an integral part of the winemaking at Blue Pyrenees Estate for many years. Daytime temperatures in most Australian wine regions means that fruit is often too warm for making premium sparkling wine when received into the press at the winery. In 1992 the team at Blue Pyrenees decided to experiment with picking at night, under lights, to optimize both fruit condition and temperature. The night harvesting resulted in an amazing improvement – crisper cuvee (free drained) juices of outstanding quality, with higher natural acidity and the Midnight Cuvee was born! During harvest 2023, the best Chardonnay parcels from Blue Pyrenees Estate were selected for this wine.
