‘Gateway’ is the name of Peterson’s entry level sparkling wine from the Hunter Valley, it is made from 100% Semillon and impressed us at the cellar door for being very easy drinking and refreshing.
Petersons Gateway exhibits crisp and refreshing flavours of green apple, lemon and a hint of toast. Simple and very easy drinking, this wine has fine bubbles and is far better than the usual yeasty swill found at its price point.
The first bottle of this wine I purchased had cork seal issues and was basically flat. Petersons did the right thing, stating that they recently had a faulty batch of corks and replaced the bottle for no charge. They also plan to move to crown seals in the near future, at which time I will be even more inclined to purchase their excellent bubbles.
Score: 89/100
Price: $17.50
Closure: Cork
Alcohol: 11.5%
