A nice substitute for Champagne at half the price
Description: Deep straw in colour with a medium intense nose and fine mousse. This wine features lightly toasted oak, brioche, green apple, pear, honeydew melon, strawberry, lemon tart and honeysuckle on the nose. Medium body with good acidity and a good length.
Negatives: None
Interesting Note: Méthode Tasmanoise is a play on words for their connection to Champagne and to the same style they produce.
Drink now or in the next 5-7 of years on its own or pair it with Pistachio-Crusted Scallops.

This is one of the better Aussie sparklers, offering great QPV.
Nose of green apples and lemon zest, with a light baguette undertone.
On the palate, green apples shine through, as well as Meyer lemons, red grapefruit and almond. Finish is medium-plus. Nice complexity for this price-point.
Dry, balanced acid make this a crisp sparkler that drinks well on its own, or pairs beautifully with food.
