Best sparkling rosé - 2022 halliday awards
“A true execution of talent, masterfully articulating the concentration, character and energy of a powerful vintage. Piper's River pinot noir (100%) declares a dramatic contrast between great depth and the scaffolded frame of acid, phenolic structure and barrel fermentation (6yo oak). The cold winds of Bass Strait whip up energetic structure that holds its drama through a long finish, never for a moment dipping its determined gaze.” 96 points - Tyson Stelzer
2019 Bellebonne Vintage Rosé OUT NOW
$82.50
Made from 100% Tasmanian Pinot Noir, this is delicate pink with salmon blush and super fine bubbles. The aromas are a meld of strawberry, marzipan, Turkish delight and buttery pastry. While the flavours are subtle, there is a delicious roundness in the mouth set against a fine tannin finish with the barest touch of bitter orange pith.
2015 Bellebonne Blanc de Blancs
$110.00
Celebrating purity and longevity. 100% Chardonnay from the inaugural Bellebonne vintage, 2015. Abounding with generous pineapple, golden delicious apple, fresh fig and preserved lemon. Six years has blessed it with bountiful brushstrokes of brioche, vanilla custard and even a hint of nutmeg. Texturally it is a marvel, at once creamy and silky, yet simultaneously taut, determined and enduring. Enticing now, it has places to go over the coming decade, too.
This Blanc de Blancs singly transcends Natalie Fryar's moniker of Australia's sparkling rosé queen, unequivocally and emphatically confirming her place as Australia's sparkling queen.
