Smells of fresh strawberries with hints of quince. Nicely structured creamy palate developing complexity." Winestate, Style Tastings. November/December 2005.
"A delicate sparkling wine with fragrant cherry-like tones balanced with yeast autolysis and elegant fruit flavours." Kate McCarthy, Liquor Watch, October 2005.
"From De Bortoli's Victorian range comes a very good bubbly: delicate pink tinge (what the wine buffs used to call 'partridge eye'), hint of raspberry, lively flavours, creamy texture, crisp zingy finish. For the fun times.GOOD." Quaff 2006 by Peter Forrestal
"An excellent value sparkling from the De Bortoli's stable. A pink blush style with a lovely cherry and soft biscuity flavours. Well balanced with a clean lingering finish." Darryl Thomas, Sunday Territorian, 29th May 2005
"This bright and aromatic sparkler mixes fruit and biscuity complexity quite well at this price point. Attractive light copper colour from the pinot noir. Crisp and fresh nose of grapefruit, strawberry and a touch of biscuit. Clean and crisp on the palate with some richness and spice. Good length. 88 / 100" Jefferson Davis, Wine Access (Canada), 19 February 2005
"Light peach flavours from the chardonnay combine with subtle 'bready"' characters producing a full flavoured yet elegant style of budget sparkling wine. Soft and full on the palate, the Windy Peak finishes crisp and with plenty of flavour. For its price it is a stand-out." Glen Swan, Brisbane Lawyer, 20 January 2005
"While the colour is light pink, the wine shows hints of strawberries, a touch of sweetness and a clean, fresh finish." Quaff 2004, The Best Value Wines In Australia, Max Allen & Peter Forrestal
"Salmon pink colour. Toffee and mushroom-like aromas.... has character." Champagne & Sparkling Wines Style Tasting, Winestate, December 2003
