WINNER - BEST WINE OF SHOW - AUSTRALIAN SPARKLING WINE SHOW 2023
The Australian Sparkling Wine Show is the only show dedicated Sparkling in Australia. This year there were 152 entries and Pirie Sparkling Non-Vintage won three big trophies including Best Wine of Show and Best Mature Wine of Show.
"A 55/45% blend of chardonnay and pinot noir sourced from the Tamar Valley with small amounts from earlier vintages matured in used French oak. Second fermentation in bottle with two years on lees prior to disgorgement. It's as fresh as a daisy, the palate long, the finish and aftertaste nodding their heads in agreement." Rating: 94 Points. James Halliday
Now the question has got to be asked, would you prefer a great complex Australian Sparkling or bottom end, generic French Champagne? I know what I'd prefer every day of the week. Over to you.
I used to spend a small fortune on mass market champagne, Bolli NV, Lois Roederer and Billecart Salmon. This Pirie is the best traditional method I’ve tried; light and fruity on the nose with a good clear crisp start and not too much floralness at the end. If you’re a Billi fan this is a great alternative for those not so special occasions.
Great value for money
