Details
A bright and citrus-driven bubbly made of 70% Chardonnay and 30% Semillon, with stone fruit and tropical undertones. This First Creek bubbly has a persistent bead with surprising biscuity complexity and a crisp acid finish. A very user-friendly fizz, that'll have you wondering where that bottle of Aperitivo is. It's time to mix a spritz.
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: In 1890, French winemaker Charles Pierlot, made Australia’s first-ever traditional method sparkling wine (the same method as in Champagne!), in the Grampians of Victoria.

Pairing guide
This gorgeous sparkler is sure to elevate even the humblest lunch, picnic or beach barbecue to new heights of excellence. With a gorgeous biting acidity, it’s brilliantly food friendly; we especially enjoyed it with peri peri chicken or prawns, vegetable or seafood fritters, fish ‘n’ chips and southern fried chicken. However, it’s also a great match for scallops, Moreton Bay bugs, meatier fish like barramundi or snapper, and for fried rice and crispy noodle dishes, too.
