Sparkling Wines
Just because a sparkling wine isn’t made in a certain region in France doesn’t make it any less delicious. Australian sparkling wine has seen a huge leap in quality, popularity and quantity in recent years, with Adelaide Hills, Yarra Valley, King Valley and Tasmania producing some of the best Australian sparkling wines.
And when it comes to what these home-grown sparkling wines have to offer, take your pick: Methode Traditionelle, Pinot Noir Chardonnay, Blanc de Blancs, non-vintage or vintage – our tasting panel has sipped plenty of bubbly and have picked the best of the best for you.

Bleasdale Sparkling Shiraz NV$24.00All about the red fruits and plum here, in a fluffy, lush, cuddly, generous and bubbly setting. There’s Christmas cakey spices and a hint of quince paste to boot. Lip smackingly delicious.

- Dowie Doole Moxie Sparkling Shiraz NVSpecial Price $35.00 Regular Price $40.00Since 1996, Chris Thomas has maintained a shiraz solera which form part of this lip smacking sparkling. The solera contains some of the best shiraz Chris has made over the last 20+ years and is used sparingly and exclusively to add the finishing touches to his sparkling shiraz each year and adds depth of flavour and complexity. This is sparkling shiraz as we love it- opulent, slightly sweet, with richness, complexity, oak and plenty of fine tannins. That structure combined with flavours of blackberry, cherry. dark chocolate and spice making this a perfect accompaniment to protein, like roast chook, bacon and eggs, etc. It's bloody good.

- Eight at the Gate Wrattonbully Sparkling Shiraz NV$30.00Medium-bodied, off-dry and complex. This is a blend of 2019 Shiraz aged in oak and 2021 Shiraz aged in stainless. Both vintages were exceptional. The 2 were then blended and a fairly small dosage for sweetening was added. This is spiced, aromatic, plummy, and Christmas cakey all at once. Lovely. Learn More
- Howard Vineyard Adelaide Hills Pinot Chardonnay 2023$30.00Super expressive strawberries, raspberries and cherry morph into citrus and stonefruit. The palate is creamy, the bead fine. To summarise, ‘Yum’! The Pinot Noir components comprise the superb and low yielding Burgundian clones of 777, 114 and 115. Both the Pinot and Chardy are planted at 470m above sea level. Learn More
- Leconfield Syn Cuvee Blanc NV$22.00A remarkably fresh sparkling white made from a blend of Chardonnay and Pinot Noir fruit from the Coonawarra. It has a lively, creamy, mousse and a full, supple body. (And yes, much better looking than Abbott in Speedos). Enjoy it now in all its youthful glory as an aperitif, or with shellfish and seafood. Syn(ful) indeed! Learn More
- Leconfield Syn Sparkling Coonawarra Rosé$22.00A slightly pink sparkling this one. It’s labelled rosé but to us seems much more like a traditional cool climate Chardy Pinot sparkling and a bloody good one at that. It has a very fine bead, aromas of stonefruit and red fruits along with a little brioche. Flavours follow suit and introduce cherries and a creamy aspect. This is delicious. Learn More
- Leconfield Syn Sparkling Coonawarra Shiraz$22.00This is a punchy, richly fruited fizzy Shiraz, with a bit of oak and liqueur to give it creaminess and balance. Raspberries and cholocate lead the charge, well supported by other berry fruit flavours. Served chilled as a perfect match with duck terrine, chicken liver pâte and venison dishes. Learn More
