Distant South Tasmania Sparkling
The ruggedly spectacular vineyards of Tasmania have proved themselves capable of producing such fine sparkling wine that many think them the most serious challenger to the great Champagnes. The traditional grapes of Chardonnay and Pinot Noir make this Distant South sparkling, a wine of finesse and complexity, of length and flavour. A Rich toastiness mingles with crisp apple notes, backed by a persistent creamy texture. A sparkling wine of outstanding quality.
Taltarni Blanc de Blancs
The Taltarni Blanc de Blancs is a brilliant addition to the already impressive Taltarni sparkling range; giving an added level of prestige and refinement. Using fruit sourced from the best parcels of cool-climate Victorian Chardonnay and following the traditional method, the 100% Chardonnay sparkling is classic in nature with notes of subtle peach and lemon. The finish is textural and engaging, yet with bold natural acidity.
Bone Dry Sparkling Pinot Chardonnay
Fruit is machine-picked at night to ensure cooler temperatures and retain fruit aromatics. On arrival at the winery, the fruit is gently pressed to minimise phenolics and maximise fruit flavour and delicacy. All base wines undergo 100 percent malolactic fermentation and remain on lees until required for blending and stabilising. The final base wine components are then bottle fermented and spend a short period on tirage lees, providing further yeast complexity in the final wine.
Shady Lane Pet Nat Pinot
Fermentation begins in the winery before the part fermented juice is transferred to bottle to finish the job. Flavours of strawberries and cream with tart raspberry it has a persistent fizz that knows how to quench a thirst. A perfect match for sunshine and good times.
