O'Leary Walker 'Hurtle' Sparkling Pinot Noir Chardonnay

O'Leary Walker Hurtle Sparkling Pinot Noir Chardonnay is a premium Australian sparkling wine crafted in the traditional method (méthode traditionnelle). Produced by O'Leary Walker Wines in South Australia, this elegant blend of Pinot Noir and Chardonnay showcases fine bubbles, crisp acidity, and a well-balanced structure.
