Named in honour of the house founder, Charles-Camille Heidsieck, Champagne Charlie represents the pinnacle of blending expertise at Charles Heidsieck. Rather than relying on a single harvest, the cellarmaster constructs this prestige cuvée around a remarkably high proportion of aged reserve wines drawn from Grand and Premier Cru vineyards. The winemaking strategy rests on patience and depth. Incorporating up to eighty per cent reserve wines, including components aged over two decades, the house creates an extraordinarily layered champagne. Prolonged maturation within Reims chalk cellars grants the wine its signature weight and creamy texture while maintaining bright acidity. The nose reveals toasted brioche, roasted nuts, dried citrus peel, and stone fruit. On the palate, expect a rich yet precise balance of orchard fruit, subtle pastry notes, and a fine, chalk-mineral finish that lingers well beyond the glass.

Crafted by chief winemaker Ed Carr, House of Arras Brut Elite Cuvée 1901 Rosé draws on pristine, cool-climate Tasmanian vineyards. This multi-vintage sparkling blends Pinot Noir, Chardonnay and Pinot Meunier. Extended tirage maturation builds textural depth and secondary character, bringing subtle sourdough and brioche notes beneath lifted red fruit drive. A low dosage preserves natural acidity and structural balance, leading to a firm, dry finish with clean persistence. Cuvée 1901 represents benchmark Tasmanian sparkling performance, delivering house style precision, prestige and remarkable value for your cellar or table.

Petaluma Croser is one of the true premium quality sparklings produced in Australia. This Croser is subtle and refined on the nose and supported by lovely melony fruit on the palate and a clean crisp finish. Sourced from fruit high in the Adelaide Hills, Croser is the perfect aperitif style sparkling.

Chamapagne Rosé is a true delight to the senses and Billecart-Salmon rightly takes its place in the top echelon. A vibrant Salmon pink colour greets the glass, with a long, smooth, delicate, elegant and refined palate to follow. Without the price tag that others of this quality demand, this is a Champagne that all must enjoy at least once.

In the glass: Fine straw yellow with a very slow release fine bead. On the nose: Nectarine and peach over hazelnut with leesy richness. On the palate: Intense and elegant with white peach and white strawberry umami plus fine elements of flint, struck match and velvety roundness under a bright, racy frame of acidity. Deliciously mouth-watering and crisp yet so flavoursome.

A plentiful mousse sits atop a pale straw base that has gold tinged edges and a fine persistent bead. Toasty yeast lees scents are intermeshed with baked bread, citrus, light honeyed notes and traces of nut. The palate is tense and sculptured with racy acidity running through toast, subtly honeyed pear, yeast lees and roasted nut flavours. Dry crisp finish with a long aftertaste that builds a sense of creaminess as it lingers. Drink over the next 2-3 years. Alc. 12.5%
