Details
The Sunnycliff Brut is an elegant blend of estate-grown Chardonnay and Pinot Noir from sun-drenched vineyards where the grapes grow rich and ripe. This wine is defined by its slow melting bubbles balanced with a delicious round body filled with clean citrus flavours and savoury biscuit notes. An elegant yet approachable style of bubbles.

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
We've gotta say, sparkling wine like this is one of the kinds we like most. It's naturally low alcohol means it's an easy wine to start the night right even while cooking up a storm and setting the table. It pairs best when matched with light and delicate flavours, as you get with sushi and light seafood because of its cleansing acidy and lighter citrus tones. But don't be shy to batter things up and pair it to fried foods. This easy-win-wine loves to team up with hot chips, or fried chicken!
