Details
The Nut House is a label from the Curtis family devoted to ripe and generous South Aussie wines. Right on cue, this is a round, juicy, bubbly that is plump and a little toasty, built in a very easy-drinking style. It's plump, with plenty of fruit and a nice crisp finish, the flavours spreading out so easily.

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 laid back sparkler is going to be a real winner for a pre-dinner drink. Or indeed, as a pair with nearly everything that goes on your table! We really like this 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! The contrast of juiciness and that slight edge of toast is going to make it work with nearly anything (just serve it as cold as humanly possible).

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!
