Sparkling Vintage 2021
Minimum order of 1 case or 6 bottles (Mixed or straight)
This Vintage Tasmanian Sparkling is bright, youthful pale in colour with brilliant clarity. Lifted and complex aromatics of lemon meringue and sea spray layered with toasty brioche and subtle nutty cashew notes. A fine, gentle mousse carries flavours of pithy talc and lime peel. The wine is dry in style, tightly coiled and precise, driven by taut acidity and impressive tension. Focused and linear, with vibrant acidity providing structure and length. The finish is refined, mineral and persistent, promising further complexity with time.

The perfect accompaniment to a range of canapés including cured salmon with a ponzu sauce or a salt and pepper squid. Or try it with lemon infused grilled chicken breast and a fresh garden salad.
