100% Chardonnay, 1300 bottles produced. Dosage 3g/L. LES MALAQUAIS 2018 is a unique champagne which resonates beautifully with the citrus and exotic fruit notes expressed by the parcel’s red sands. The first nose is elegant, eloquent and precise; it achieves a divine harmony, integrating woody aromas with hints of toast and wild peach, pineapple and passion fruit notes. After swirling the glass, the champagne reveals notes of lemon, hazelnut and orange, with a citrus sensation reminiscent of the sands on the plot.

95 POINTS, TYSON STELZER, HALLIDAY WINE COMPANION 2023 There's something mighty compelling about the texture and perfume of 100% pinot noir sparkling rosé in Tasmania, seldom achieved outside of the A-list of Piper's River. For Lowestoft to attain it in southern Tasmania is a staggering achievement in itself, to do it on their first attempt is monumental. No surprise that Natalie Fryar is in the wings! Delightful, spicy, lively berry fruits deliver crunch and tang, impeccably framed by the creamy texture of lees age. Outstanding line, length and sheer bountiful joy.   #FOGG

Vinous 92 points, Jeb Dunnuck 92 points. Organic. 3500 bottles produced.

94 Points - Wine & Spirits Based on the 2017 vintage, this blend includes 30 percent from a perpetual reserve established in 2005. It’s focused on David Pehu’s parcels in Verzenay, Verzy and Sillery, weighted toward pinot noir (70 percent), and it is red fruit thats pours out of the glass. Powerfully structured as a young wine, with a hint of vanilla bean (20 percent of the base wines were vinified in oak), this is more accessible a day after the cork is popped: The mineral acidity turns frisky, the layered intensity of cèpes and chalk mellows toward generosity. 93 Points - Wine Spectator Packs a fragrant skein of...

Ruinart is the oldest of all the Champagne houses and produces a wine based mostly on Chardonnay.

65/ 35/ 2% pinot noir/ chardonnay/ meunier; 55/45% Tasman Peninsula/East Coast.   TYSON STELZER, HALLIDAY WINE COMPANION 2023 "The new-entry cuvée for the Fogarty Group's Tasmanian sparkling operation is crisp, fresh and fruity, built around cool, Tasman Peninsula pinot noir. Crunchy red apples, strawberries and lemons are the theme. Clean, precise and well put together, this is a well-balanced apéritif, more about fruit than texture or complexity. It will appreciate a little bottle age to build depth." 90 points.   #FOGG

Sparkling Shiraz forms an integral part of the iconic Barossa tradition in viniculture. A celebration of the regions oldest and best loved grape variety, with bubbles to match.

All that one would expect from a balanced Champagne. Doesn't hit the high notes of the hand-crafted or more precise Champagnes but balanced and infinitely drinkable. (16-Oct-2012) Jeannie Cho Lee

This is simply one of the most outstanding proseccos that money can buy. 3 Glasses Gambero Rosso 2010/ to 2025. Listed as a perennial in Grandi Cru d'Italia. Production area: Cartizze is a small hilly area with 106 hectares of vineyard lying between the districts of Santo Stefano and S. Pietro di Barbozza in the municipality of Valdobbiadene. Within such area lies ‘La Rivetta’ vineyard owned by Villa Sandi. A true cru that is the result of a perfect combination between a gentle microclimate and a very old land with calcareous sandstones and clays. COLOUR Very pale straw yellow and an intense, fine and persistent perlage....

Excellent bone dry prosecco that ticks all the boxes. Pure fruit, excellent persistent bead, crisp acidity and clean, dry finish. DOCG quality through and through. Conegliano lies in the Valdobiaddene region of Veneto from which the very best of prosecco is sourced.. In terms of prestige in the hierarchy of prosecco it sits 2 rungs below the subregion of Cartizze (see Villa Sandi for our version).There are many other cheaper versions available in the market but for the few dollars more that the good stuff demands in price, there really is no point in skimping.
