A unique sparkling by Australia standards with aromatics, flavour profile and textures uniquely different; the wine is a blend of 60% Chardonnay, 30% Pinot Bianco, 10% Muller Thurgau and produced using the charm method.

The nose was defined by pear and oyster shell with a distinctive note of washed rind cheese; the palate shows almond liquor and maraschino cherries that are well supported by baked pear. There was a touch of bitterness to finish that did provide a slight distraction.
