Sparkling shiraz is as Australian as anything, and one of the best value is from Seppelt, with the current vintage drinking superbly. Surprisingly soft and plump with ripe and giving tannins; while it's dry, there's some sweet fruit sensation on the palate that helps with dishes that have heat spikes and spice, especially Indian. Lots of plum fruit, spice and earthy notes, too, with fine acid and the fizz hit offers a refreshing lift.

One of the leading wineries in the Valpolicella region of Italy's Veneto. This generous and ripe traditional Valpolicella is all about leather, roasted almond, ripe currants and sour cherry. The palate is mellow, with fine tannins and a sour cherry finish.

This wine is bright straw coloured, with lively bubbles, and a soft, caressing flavour. It is an excellent aperitif, and is also suitable for vegetable soups and shellfish dishes, pasta with delicate meat sauces, fresh cheese and white meat.

Marchand & Burch Cremant de Bourgogne is soft and balanced with delicate bubbles complementing its fruity palate. Finished with a touch of citrus notes that adds vibrancy to its taste, this golden-yellow wine is best served chilled, at 7-8C.

NOTTE ROSSA is the expression of our unique terroir. Important and modern wines: the great wines from Salento, which interpret the values of traditional viticulture with a modern oenological approach. A land that best interprets its finest grapes: Primitivo, Negroamaro, the great red wines, but also the freshness of the least known whites. The work of a community.

The Freixenet brand now extends its 150 years of wine-making expertise and globally renowned name to create a new, high-quality, Italian rosé. Presented in a stunningly attractive bottle, this charming rosé is made from the typical grape varieties of Veneto. Its a refreshing wine with a subtle perfume and delicate palate of red cherries and strawberries. Enjoy it chilled as an aperitivo or serve with light dishes or spicy cuisine.

As Prosecco continues to garner the acclaim it rightly deserves in Australia as a refreshing and delicious sparkling wine perfectly suited to our climate, it's not hard to get excited when premium examples like the Santa Margherita Superiore 52 comes along. Simply bursting with flavours of ripe apple skins, this classic example is refreshing in the extreme. Light and fluffy on the palate with a persistence of flavour that is unrivalled. Superb.

Floral scents of violets and roses with a powerful fruit driven palate full of ripe red cherries, sour black cherries and a touch of spice.

This sparkling wine is a pale straw/gold colour with a fine and persistent bead. Bready and biscuity autolysis notes from lees ageing are balanced by crisp apples and citrus lift. Vibrant lemony acidity adds drive to a full and rich mid-palate, vigorous mousse and a slaty, mineral persisting finish. 'The texture is soft and swirling, a real triumph. It delivers gentle crispness and finished with tingly citrus drive. 92 points' - Nick Stock, Good Wine Guide 2013

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.
