Bellebonne-bis NV Rose

Strawberries and cream, raspberry and roses, all with wonderful clarity. Brioche notes are offset by that saline quality and again the chalky mouthfeel. So bright and engaging, you can taste the ripe grapes are utterly pristine. Fresh, engaging and incredibly moreish. The best value and most delicious pink fizz at this price in Australia. Waters Wine Co

A sparkling rosé of 58/37/3% pinot noir/chardonnay/pinot meunier from Tasmania’s Tamar Valley, Pipers River and East Coast. A blend of three vintages: 2019, ’20 and ’21. Winemaker Nat Fryer says a sparkling winemaker’s most important wine is their NV, as it is what they will be judged on. Super pretty salmon colour and superfine bubbles. A beautiful detailed bouquet of red berries, gentle spice and crème fraîche, almond blossom and light pastry notes. Great mineral energy with pitch-perfect balance and a composed sense of calm and harmony on the finish. Lovely. 95 Points – Dave Brookes, Halliday Wine Companion 2024
