Sparkling Lineup 19.0 – Last Chance Deal

This collection brings together award-winning sparkling wines from boutique producers across Australia, featuring everything from traditional method blanc de blancs to trendy pet nat styles. The diversity spans from crisp prosecco perfect for casual gatherings to premium sparkling whites that have earned 95-96 point ratings from respected critics like James Halliday. With multiple gold medals from international competitions including San Francisco and Japan, these wines represent exceptional quality at various price points for any celebratory occasion.

The collection showcases the full spectrum of sparkling wine production methods, from the ancestral pet nat technique that creates natural effervescence to traditional method blanc de blancs offering refined elegance. Prosecco provides fresh, fruit-forward bubbles ideal for aperitifs, while the premium sparkling whites demonstrate complex flavours developed through extended lees contact. This variety allows you to explore how different production methods influence texture, flavour intensity, and the character of the bubbles themselves.

The diverse flavour profile spanning from citrus and apple to stone fruits like peach and nectarine makes this collection incredibly food-friendly. The crisp, mineral-driven styles complement fresh oysters and sashimi, while the fruit-forward prosecco pairs beautifully with charcuterie and soft cheeses. The blanc de blancs styles have the structure to handle richer dishes like lobster thermidor, and the pet nat's natural acidity cuts through fried foods and spicy Asian cuisine perfectly.

Yes, several wines in this collection are certified vegan, meaning they're produced without animal-derived fining agents like egg whites or isinglass commonly used in traditional winemaking. Additionally, the collection includes wines from certified sustainable producers, reflecting environmentally conscious viticulture practices. This attention to ethical production methods doesn't compromise quality - these wines have earned recognition from international competitions while meeting modern dietary and environmental standards.

Store these sparkling wines in a cool, dark place at 12-15°C, lying on their side to keep corks moist and prevent oxidation. Serve chilled at 6-8°C in flute or tulip glasses to preserve the bubbles and concentrate the aromatics. The NV (non-vintage) wines are ready to drink now and will maintain their freshness for 2-3 years, while the vintage-dated wines like the 2022 releases can develop additional complexity with careful cellaring for 3-5 years.
