About Freycinet Radenti R3 Sparkling:
Tasmania's reputation for producing some of Australia's best sparkling wines is increasing each year, thanks to the pristine cool climate in which the grapes grow – uncannily not too dissimilar to the famous Champagne region of France.
Commencing in 1993, Radenti Sparkling was the first premium Sparkling wine produced on the East Coast of Tasmania and it has earned a formidable reputation for quality over the years winning many Trophies and Gold medals at various wine shows.
Radenti R3 follows on from the Gold Medal 2011 Radenti Sparkling and the significance of the name R3 is that 3 Vintages (40% 2012, 44% 2013 16% 2014) were combined to create Radenti R3.
Overall blend proportions are 70% Chardonnay and 30% Pinot Noir.
The pinnacle of Sparkling wine quality is best achieved in cool, southerly latitude climates such as Tasmania's, where remarkable intensity and delicacy of flavour develops along with elegance and finesse.
