Pipers Brook KREGLINGER Vintage Sparkling Wine Tasmania Australia
Description: Tasting Note Pale, yellow gold with a very fine and persistent bead. Classic vintage sparkling nose with traces of bakers yeast and mineral notes balanced by subtle tones of honey and citrus. Producer Notes: Located in Northern Tasmania at latitude of 41º South, the cool coastal slopes of the Pipers Brook region produce truly exceptional sparkling wine. This wine is sourced from specific sparkling vineyard sites in the Pipers Brook and Pipers River districts. All the sites are based on basaltic soils and are east-southeast facing. This aspect in the Pipers River district gives a ripening potential expressed in day-degrees summation of around 950-1050 day-deg C. This compares favourably with conditions in the French district of Champagne . (6 x 75 cl)
Price: £134.15

Pipers Brook ESTATE Chardonnay Tasmania Australia
Description: Light, mid-gold in colour with a complex bouquet of primary pear melon and citrus characters supported by the nuttiness of French oak and the butterscotch, honey and coffee aromas derived from malolactic fermentation and the oxidative handling process. On the palate this is quite a big wine in structure balanced by the natural acidity achieved in the vineyards, with ripe, malo and some French oak, though none of these characters dominates. It requires 1 to 2 years to develop its full complexity and has sufficient delicacy for long term aging in cool cellars. Sourced entirely from Pipers Brook Vineyard grapes more than half of this years blend came from vineyards at Pipers Brook including blocks A3 and A4 from the 24 year old ''Summit'' vineyard with the balance from the ''Timperton'' and Strathlynn'' vineyards. All the vines used are between 10 and 24 years old. Oxidative handling is employed to subdue the primary fruit characters and develop complex flavours suitable for long term bottle development. Some barrel fermentation takes place in both new and old French oak as well as stainless steel tanks. (6 x 75 cl)
Price: £99.79
