Details
A light and tangy sparkling wine; very fresh and driven by light flavours of lemon, melon and grapefruit. Easy-going and bright, this is a straightforward sparkler that's easy to enjoy, with plenty of refreshment.

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
Who doesn’t love a nice glass of something chilled and sparkling with their food? This beautiful bubbly is a real hit here at the Good Pair Days headquarters when it comes to lunchtime, and it isn’t difficult to see why: it pairs with pretty much all of our favourites! On the one hand, this wine is delicious alongside elegant dishes of seafood (especially fresh shellfish) and white meats in creamy, buttery sauces. On the other, it pairs spectacularly well with Korean fried chicken, pizza, popcorn, burgers, and all your classic guilty pleasures. Nice.
