"one of the standout non-vintage sparklings on the shelves this year, and one of the best value."Tyson Stelzer
“100% Tasmanian, 55% chardonnay, 45% pinot noir, 5% fermented in French puncheons, on tirage4½ years. Balances line and length, freshness and complexity to perfection, with a bewitching array of white flowers, almond, quince and citrus, the finish long and precise. Deserves its trophy and six gold medals from major shows.” – 96 Points & Top 100 Wines of 2016 James Halliday
"There is elegance and effortless balance in this single vineyard Tamar Valley fizz capturing the lemon zest and white peach freshness of Tasmanian Chardonnay and Pinot Noir. One of the standout non-vintage sparklings on the shelves this year, and one of the best value. 12.5%. 93 Points" - Tyson Stelzer
“A 55/45 chardonnay pinot noir blend based on the 2011 vintage, this is the sparkling trophy winner from the 2016 Tasmanian Wine Show. It has remarkable character and complexity for a bubbly of its price. For a wine that’s spent three years on lees, it’s a gift.” 95 Points Huon Hooke
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
