Sparkling Wines
Bubbles are for celebrating. Bubbles are for entertaining. Bubbles are for dinner parties. Bubbles are for BBQs. Is there anything bubbles can’t do? It’s even OK to drink bubbles first thing in the morning... Chicken and Champagne breakfast anyone? From Adelaide Hills sparkling to Champagne directly imported from, well, Champagne... whatever form they come in, we love sparkling wines... these are the latest slew to have us tchin tchin-ing at the tasting bench...
- Bernard Remy Carte Blanche$65.00A stunningly complex Champagne. The nose offers mushroom and truffle, shortbread and stonefruits too. The palate offers all of the above and a meatiness from the Pinot Noir component. As the wine opens there is also nectarine and apple. Persistence of flavour and intensity are exceptional. Learn More
- Bernard Remy Grand Cru NVSpecial Price $85.00 Regular Price $95.00Rich and decadent with a hard cheese nuttiness. There’s truffle, fig, and white blossoms here too along with lemon and just a waft of lavender. This is serious kit from one of the greatest, if not the greatest sub region of Champagne, Le Mesnil. Take your time with this one as it opens up long after opening. Learn More
- 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. Learn More
- Bouché Père et Fils Millésime 2008Special Price $130.00 Regular Price $140.00A staggering 10 years on lees for this amazing Vintage Champagne giving this wine exceptional depth of flavour and complexity. Fresh green apples, toasted and buttered brioche, grilled nuts and citrus. An exceptional Vintage champagne produced primarily from Grand Cru Vineyards. The best vintage Bouche have produced so far.

- Eight at the Gate Wrattonbully Sparkling Shiraz NVSpecial Price $28.00 Regular Price $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
- Jasmin Sparkling Rosé NVSpecial Price $15.00 Regular Price $22.00A fairly powerful Rosé sparkling which can be drunk as an aperitif or with a range of foods, including seafood and roast chook. Plenty of rose petals and strawberries here, a little sweetness and a lick of citrus on the finish. Learn More
- Leconfield Syn Cuvee Blanc NVSpecial Price $20.00 Regular Price $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 RoséSpecial Price $20.00 Regular Price $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 ShirazSpecial Price $20.00 Regular Price $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
- Lloyd Brothers Sparkling RoséSpecial Price $25.00 Regular Price $28.00A beautiful sparkling made from Adelaide Hills Chardonnay and Pinot Noir, using the Methode Champenoise. The wine was aged on lees in bottle for 2 years prior to disgorgement. Aromas of pink grapefruit, rose and strawberries and brioche. Same on the palate along with notes of lemon curd. Excellent length and depth of flavour. Learn More
- Tomich 'M' Sparkling Chardonnay Pinot NV$22.00This is the best release of this product we have seen to date. It’s 100% estate grown Adelaide Hills Chardonnay and Pinot Noir and is an excellent drink, with plenty of fresh ripe strawberries, stone fruits, citrus and other mouthwatering goodies. Learn More
- Tomich 'T' Sparkling NVSpecial Price $24.00 Regular Price $30.00Depth and freshness are keywords here, as this wine offers both clarity of fruit and oodles of flavour. Red apple and mushroom, minerality and excellent acidity. It is lively enough to work as an aperitif or with fresh oysters and has the power to work beautifully with more robust seafood dishes.
