Barringwood Tasmanian Cuvée NV
Barringwood is one of Tasmania's lovely cool-climate wine estates, with vineyards in the island's north and a particular talent for sparkling wine. Tasmania has become one of Australia's most exciting regions for traditional-method bubbles, and Barringwood is a great example of why. Long, cool growing seasons, beautifully preserved acidity and careful winemaking make for sparkling wines with real character.
The Tasmanian Cuvée is a traditional-method blend of 58% Chardonnay, 41% Pinot Noir and 1% Pinot Meunier, sourced from the estate's Evandale vineyard. Built around the 2021 vintage, the wine undergoes full malolactic fermentation and spends 18 months ageing on lees before disgorgement, developing lovely texture and complexity while retaining that unmistakable Tasmanian freshness.
Bright lemon zest, baked apple, a little strawberry cream and delicate toasted brioche. Fine, persistent bubbles, a beautifully fresh palate and just enough richness to make this feel like a seriously good bottle of sparkling wine.
A fantastic Australian alternative to Champagne, and one that deserves a place at the table.
Fresh oysters, smoked salmon, good cheese or simply a glass before dinner. There's always a reason to open something this good.
