Sparkling Rosé NV – Black Market Deal #39488
- Crisp, fine
- Adelaide Hills
Oh yum! Good thing this comes in a case of six, because one bottle will be gone in an instant. Just a bit of sun is all that’s needed to make this wine necessary. It’s crisp (with an inviting and surprising touch of creaminess), pale and vibrant. The fruit is lively and hints at guava, cranberry and strawberry. It’s all pinot noir as well, so there’s an underlying savouriness and texture. This is absolutely required gear for days on the deck this summer.

What is a Black Market deal?
Black Market deals are only made possible if we don’t reveal the maker’s brand on site. The wines are the genuine article – absolutely no cleanskins or fake brands, just dangerously good value. You won’t find out what it is until it hits your doorstep, but you won’t regret it. Just keep it on the down low.
It’s cool, we get it, you want to know absolutely everything about this wine. Well here you go, go nuts.

Region
Adelaide Hills
Don't kid yourselves, the Adelaide Hills are bigger and much more diverse than they seem. It stretches over 80km from the Barossa Valley in the North to McLaren Vale in the South. The area is so variable that small pockets such as Piccadilly and Longwood can only ripen marginal such as Chardonnay or Pinot Noir, whereas other specific areas are perfect for peppery Shiraz and ballsy Cabernet. A healthy mix of experienced hands and young hipsters ensure the region stays at the cutting edge of the industry. Natural wines, and new European varieties including Nebbiolo and Gruner Veltliner are some of the more recent highlights to keep an eye out for.
