Details
There's no shortage of fun in this sparkling from the Curtis family. Made using a fruit salad of grapes including Sauvignon Blanc, Chenin Blanc and Chardonnay, this juicy and fruity sparkling white wine manages to be both plenty fun yet with a nice crisp citrussy finish to keep everything fresh!
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 produced were sparkling red, a style that has stuck with us to this day! 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
Bright, juicy and very easy drinking, this fun Aussie bubbly is a brilliant choice for a light lunch, barbecue or dinner party alike. We love how it pairs with simple picnic fare, from dips and wraps to fancy sandos, plus it will be a great pair to dishes with green vegetables, lighter fish and shellfish dishes, and all kinds of fritters, fried pastries or tempting treats like southern fried chicken. Green salads, Indian street food, antipasti and tapas dishes will also hit the spot perfectly.

Wine region

South Australia, Australia
South Australia is a wide and varied state when it comes to wine production. From the coastal regions of Limestone Coast and McLaren Vale, to the warmer inland valleys of Barossa and Eden, to the flats of Langhorne Creek, there's a range of terroirs and temperatures across this wide brown land. As a result, wines labelled with only South Australia can display a range of flavours! The state is probably best known for Shiraz, Grenache and Cab Sav in reds, and Riesling, Sauvignon Blanc and Chardonnay in white. Whatever your flavour, there's plenty to explore!
