Sparkling White Wines
We’ve seen a massive rise in the quality of sparkling white wines in Australia – particularly, to our tastes, in the Adelaide Hills and Pyrenees... and we love it in all the shapes and forms it comes in... Methode Traditionelle, Pinot Noir Chardonnay, Blanc de Blancs, non-vintage or vintage – if it's got bubbles in it, we’ll have a look at it. If it’s any good, it’s listed below...
- 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
- 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.

- Villa Fresco by Pizzini Frizzante NV$25.00A brilliantly drinkable sparkling made by Pizzini wines from King Valley Fruit. This is an exceptionally refreshing wine offering lemon sherbet, apples, powdered ginger and more. Works well as an aperitif, with antipasto, prosciutto pizza and seafood. We reckon you’ll definitely want a second glass. Learn More
- Villa Fresco by Pizzini Prosecco NV$30.00A beautiful Prosecco made by Pizzini wines from King Valley Glera, the same varietal used in the production of Italian Prosecco. This is an exceptionally refreshing wine offering lemon sherbet and lime zest, yeast, toastiness and a hint of jasmine. Complex for a Prosecco. Learn More
- Watkins Langhorne Creek Extra Brut Sparkling Blanc de Blancs 2022Special Price $20.00 Regular Price $28.00A very tasty sparkling made from Langhorne Creek Chardonnay aged on yeast and dosed with just 3g/l of sugar. Such is the fruit quality, the more normal 8-10 grams just weren’t required. This sparkler has a fine bead, bready and biscuity nuances, green apples and power. Bloody good. Learn More
- Zonte's Footstep 'Bolle Felici' ProseccoSpecial Price $25.00 Regular Price $30.00A beautifully zingy, crisp apply number. This is refreshing and at 11% relatively low in alcohol. Quite dry too and with good acidity giving it length. Importantly it is made from the Glera grapes grown on the Fleurieu Peninsula, the traditional grape of Italian Prosecco. Learn More
