Angove Long Row Riverland Cuvee Brut Sparkling NV (200ml) - 24 Bottles

Winery Background

Angove Family Winemakers, founded in 1886, is a long-standing family-owned winery based in South Australia. Over generations, the Angove name has built a reputation for delivering wines that combine everyday drinkability with regional character. The Long Row label is designed to offer approachable, value-driven wines, and their Cuvée Brut showcases a sparkling expression from the Angove stable.

Vineyards and Style

Although the Long Row Cuvée Brut is often associated with McLaren Vale in listings (Vivino cites it under that region), the “Riverland” in your listing may reflect a market or bottling designation. The 200 ml “piccolo” format is designed for single serve occasions or sampling. Retailers describe a “Sparkling Chardonnay Pinot Noir” profile for the 200 ml version.

Winemaking

The wine is crafted by blending Chardonnay (and small proportions of Pinot Noir in some versions) to produce a lively sparkling cuvée.After fermentation, the wine is bottled under pressure to preserve its bubbles and effervescence. In the 200 ml format, it maintains the same thoughtfulness of blending but in a compact format.

Tasting Notes

• Appearance: Pale straw with fine, persistent bubbles.
  

• Aroma: Crisp citrus (lemon, lime) with hints of strawberry or red berry lift; subtle toasty or yeasty notes from the lees.
  

• Palate: Creamy texture up front, then citrus sherbet, green apple and light tropical fruit flavours. The finish is refreshing, with a clean, slightly nutty edge.
  

Food Pairing

This sparkling cuvée is excellent as an aperitif. It works beautifully with shellfish (oysters, prawns), light canapés, fresh seafood dishes, or even mild cheeses. The 200 ml format also makes it handy for picnic or event servings.
