Wine Description

Tasmania is renowned as Australia’s home of great sparkling wines. The fruit used in this Cuvée is grown on selected, cool climate vineyards across Tasmania. To maximize blending options and complexity in the final wine, batches are kept separate during winemaking. Secondary fermentation takes place in the bottle and is aged on yeast lees for as long as possible. The perfect balance for our Premium Cuvée is reached at just over two years.

Acclaim
“A fresh and vibrant nose offering sliced apples, chalky lemons, hints of bread dough and crushed stones. Medium-bodied and crunchy on the palate with a mellow, peachy mouthfeel and firm bubbles. Flavorful and crisp.” — James Suckling, Jan 2024
“Arguably Tasmania's most important wine, this is consistently one of the best-value sparklings on the shelves. It boasts all the tension and freshness to be expected from a core of Tassie chardonnay, blessed with more spicy complexity than ever. It's advertised to have at least 18 months on lees, but it's currently much more, blended from vintages 2017 and right back to 2013. The result is more creamy and toasty than ever. Impressive.”– Silver
— James Halliday, Apr 2022
