Details
The secret to this wine's success is the region on the label - the winemaking team have used grapes from the King Valley and other high spots throughout NE Victoria to craft a rather serious sparkling. There's the influence of yeast lees ageing adding another creamy layer to what is otherwise a fresh and lemony modern cool climate Aussie bubbly.

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
Deliciously dry and dangerously tempting, this Victorian fizz hits all the high notes when it comes to elegance and classy fun. Honestly, it would be much quicker to list what this wine doesn’t pair with, because it is an absolute legend at the dinner table. It is the ultimate wingman for deep-fried Indian-style nibbles, grilled seafood, or a fresh summer salad, but it also has the backbone to tackle a spicy curry or fried rice. If you are feeling indulgent, try it with shellfish tossed in a mountain of garlic-and-chilli butter, or keep it simple with a big spread of your favourite charcuterie and cheeses. Whether you are celebrating a win or just making it through the week, this bottle is a certified crowd-pleaser that brings a bit of sparkle to any spread.
