{"product_id":"mollydooker-2019-euphoria-sparkling-verdelho","title":"Mollydooker 2024 Euphoria Sparkling Verdelho McLaren Vale 750ml","description":"\u003cp dir=\"ltr\"\u003eEuphoria is Mollydooker’s fresh, zesty counterpart to Miss Molly, the winery’s rich, velvety sparkling Shiraz. It’s a sparkling Verdelho, a white grape that originated in Madeira, Portugal, and is one of Australia’s niche white varieties, in the winery’s words “luscious, generous and vibrant,” and flexible across a variety of cuisines and occasions. The name “represents Sarah’s zest for life,” Sarah Marquis being the Mollydooker winemaker and owner. “A feeling of well-being and intense excitement, Euphoria was created to celebrate little moments to milestones, and everything in between.”\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp dir=\"ltr\"\u003eThe 2024 is 100% Verdelho, grown on the Fox Creek vineyard in McLaren Vale. It’s made by the Charmat method: the base wine undergoes its secondary fermentation in a pressurised tank, which took about four weeks, and was bottled soon after “to retain the fresh vibrant fruit you see in the Euphoria.” It’s 14% ABV, with 6.5 g\/L of residual sugar and a pH of 3.23, so it’s lightly off-dry, with a touch of sweetness that rounds off the finish.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp dir=\"ltr\"\u003eThe winery’s tasting notes: “Euphoria shines in the glass with bright golden hues and delicate, persistent bubbles. Its uplifting aroma of citrus and grapefruit sets a lively tone, while tropical flavors fill the mouth. The crisp, zesty acidity enlivens the palate, culminating in a vibrant finish perfect for any celebration.” Another description reads: “Uplifting citrus aromas, fresh apple and stone fruit characters filling the mouth. The crisp, zesty acid dances amongst the fine bubbles and enlivens the palate, giving the wine a fresh and vibrant finish. This sparkling Verdelho is simple, fun and uncomplicated, just like life should be!” Another merchant notes a “gorgeous honeyed yellow hue” and “enticing aromas of tropical fruits and floral undertones.” It’s an easy, fruit-forward, aperitif-style bubbly, and a good choice for brunch, seafood, light appetizers, and summer gatherings, and a pleasant alternative to Prosecco for customers who like something a bit more tropical.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003chr\u003e\n\u003ch3 dir=\"ltr\" aria-level=\"4\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eOrigins \u0026amp; Craftsmanship\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp dir=\"ltr\"\u003eMollydooker 2024 Euphoria Sparkling Verdelho is produced by Mollydooker in McLaren Vale, South Australia, from 100% Verdelho grown on the Fox Creek vineyard.
