The Mount Gambier sparkling Chardonnay is a delight, coming from arguably the coolest wine region in Australia. This traditional method sparkling is always a single vintage, with a focus on aromatic purity and clean, fresh fruit. There is a pristine beauty to this wine that is just fine for any mood.

Ulrich Grey-Smith is a winemaker with a wealth of experience behind him after years working for larger wine companies down in the Limestone Coast during the golden years of Coonawarra Claret when every man and his dog wanted to drink wines from this sacred limestone soil. An ex Roseworthy College graduate, Uli (as he prefers to be called) moved on from big wineries to make focused wines of his own and continue to work on his collection of clothing from the 70s. There may only be two or three wines under his own label, and all sourced from Chardonnay, but that doesn’t mean they aren’t worth seeking out. His two sparkling wines, one sourced from Coonawarra and the other from Mt. Gambier, a few kilometres down the road, are both exceptional examples of aperitif style sparkling wine. Uli knows the Limestone Coast better than anyone and it is a delight to bring his wines to our GPD customers.
