Details
This NV sparkling is light, fresh, and down-to-earth. Green apple and citrus on the nose and palate. The flavours are led by a touch of cream, and biscuity complexity and then finishes with zest and zing. Refreshing and easy drinking. A fit-for-purpose fizz!
Origin: Australian Sparkling comes from… Australia. Don’t say we never teach you anything. Mainly Grown In: Often found in Victoria, New South Wales, the ACT, South Australia, Western Australia, Tasmania... sometimes even Queensland. But never NT. Sorry. Key Facts: Australia has been making sparkling wine since the late 1800s, and some of the first bottles to be produced were actually sparkling red, a style that has stuck with us until today! In the mid 50s the production of the sparkling wines we know today really took off, and the market for it increased – in other words, people got to drinking! The style has been refined over the decades, and now Australia makes world-class sparkling wines, traditionally based on Chardonnay and Pinot Noir. The style is dry, with flavours of baked bread and green apple, with really lovely, juicy acidity. Great stuff. Fun Fact: A bubbly appetiser? That's right! Sparkling wine is a super fun aperitif/aperitivo (French/Italian) which means it's the perfect thing to sip and stimulate your appetite before you dig into a delicious meal.

Pairing guide
This minerally and citrus-driven Bay of Stones Sparkling really hits the spot. Its lower alcohol makes it an easy aperitif to kick the night off! Pop one or two in the fridge while you cook up a storm, serve cold with seafood starters! It pairs best when matched with light and delicate flavours, as you get with sushi and light seafood. Or live fast with some cheeky hot chips and fried chicken. Fizzy sipping good!
