This very special drop is the perfect way to add a little sparkle to every occasion. Delicate pale yellow with an edge of green in colour, this sparkling wine is made from a blend of Chardonnay and Pinot Noir. The bouquet is bright and driven by lemon, pear skin and an exotic subtle marzipan perfume mixed with suggestions of baked French pastry. The palate is lively and also exhibits fresh lemon, Granny Smith apples complemented by an interwoven chalky minerality. This wine has spent 3 years in bottle providing yeast autolysis influences on the palate and provides further complexity to this traditionally made sparkling wine from Zonzo Estate.

Aromas of nougat, brioche, sea spray. On the palate, cut apple, fine bead, creamy, toasty and fresh finish. The relatively high percentage of Pinot Noir presents bottle age characters early delivering a wine of superior complexity. The minimal handling of the base wine delivers a creamy mousse.

Birchwood Wine Cylinder. This wine is a non vintage blend of Shiraz that contains wine from every vintage of Shiraz since 1997.
