Lodestar Padthaway Pinot Noir Chardonnay Pinot Meunier NV
About the wine
Southern sparkling delight is back!
- Geoff's Sweet Spot sparkling is an intriguing and subtly complex sparkling wine. It comes from the premium cool climate Padthaway region on South Australia's Limestone Coast.
- Beautiful aromas of strawberry, grapefruit and apple are complemented by the underlying layers of honey, flaky French pastry and a hint of toast. The creamy textured palate takes centre stage with it's fine and persistent bubbles, resulting in an elegant and long finish.
- Hearing the Angel's call, Geoff has altered this blend from the last batch to ensure each sip is more lively and complex, perfect for celebrating over the summer months. Quality bubbles at an unbelievable Angel price - don't think twice before this Naked favourite gets all snapped up once again!

Serving advice

Food match
It's hard to go past a pairing of fresh oysters with this wine! Fresh rockmelon wrapped in prosciutto works beautifully as well.

Wine profile
Meet the winemaker - Geoff Thompson
The first winemaker in his family, Geoff got to grips with grapes in 2002 and left a promising career in photographic science to do something he was passionate about. Hard work and enviable talent saw him work his way up the wine-stained ladder to Senior Winemaker at the Tahbilk Group in Victoria, in charge of more than a million cases a year!
Building a reputation as a master blender, Geoff won a ton of gold medals and trophies for his wines - and developed an itch to branch out on his own, back in his McLaren Vale homeland. Angels helped him scratch it in 2013 when a phone call in a car park kicked off his dream to create wines under his own label for them!
With his winemaking wizardry and access to some of the best grapes in the country, Geoff has been wowing Angels with his sensational South Australian wines ever since. He’s caught the eye of the critics too. In 2022, his winery was awarded 4.5 stars in the iconic Halliday wine companion.
