Details
Joyously bubbly, this Blanc de Blancs (a white wine made from white grapes!) made from 100% Chardonnay grapes is bursting with fragrant citrus and apple aromas. The palate is dry, fresh and zingy, with zippy acidity making for an excellent aperitif style, and finishes clean, moreish & delicious. No added preservatives, sunshine in a bottle!

We love being just slightly ahead of the curve here at Good Pair Days, so when the opportunity came to collaborate with Aaron Mercer on a range of preservative-free wines, we jumped at the chance! Aaron is one of NSW’s most versatile and awarded winemakers, and he’s also a genuinely great guy! With his own label Mercer Wines based in the Hunter Valley, and as part of the trio of Maker, Master and Merchant wine gurus, Aaron boasts extensive experience working not just around the wine regions of Australia, but also in France, Germany, Canada and California. Importantly, Aaron is best known for his positive impact on sustainability in wine, and creative flair within organic, vegan and preservative-free winemaking. Sunshine & Spur is a new range of preservative-free and vegan-friendly varietal wines, with a focus on sustainable winemaking from regions across NSW. Named for the dappled sunshine falling on a vine spur, these are fresh and bright, drink-now styles of wine, perfect for any occasion!

Pairing guide
This delicious sparkling wine is a real winner when it comes to your dinner! Easy-going yet elegant, bright and fun yet still possessing plenty of complexity... it really is a top quality vino which is fantastic for pairing with a wide range of foods. The acidity and bite of the wine makes it superb for matching with fattier foods, cheeses, and fried dishes, but it’s also gorgeous alongside fresh salads, grilled fish, barbecued meat - really, almost anything you could create in your kitchen!
