A classic blend of the 3 noble varieties of premium cold climate sparkling wine. The extended maturation on year lees builds a level of complexity of global parity.
Crisp Tasmanian sparkling with green apple, citrus zest, and toasty brioche notes. Fine bubbles and a refreshing finish.
A mature, late-disgorged Tasmanian sparkling that fuses autolytic depth with crystalline acidity.
A lively palate revealing shimmers of exotic fruit while being led primarily by a pink grapefruit acidity, culminating in a dry finish with hints of lime and subtle vanillin oak.

This 2017 vintage year has been a real emotional roller-coaster ride.
The year started well enough with plenty of winter rain and a rapid first budding leading us into an ideal start
to the spring season.
And then on the night of 19/20 April the Alsace region suffered its worst frost in 30 years. The damage was
extensive but highly variable, anything from 0 to 80% destruction depending on the local conditions. Riquewihr
was really hit very hard. All growth stopped for a number of days and the vines finally began to flower on 31
May. During the flowering season the conditions were perfect with regular rains and the vines grew magnificently
throughout the summer. And almost no disease outbreaks whatsoever. We were wary of being optimist but we
had a good feeling.
The harvest opened on 31 August! We started on 12 September under radiant sunshine. Then... Hailstorms on
17 September! That was not part of the plan, very unusual for the season and the region! Yes, 2017 was really
turning out to be a hell of a roller-coaster ride. In the end there was little real damage apart from a Pflostig field
which didn't come in until the next day. Phew.
At the end of the harvest the weather was perfect with the added bonus of some wonderful late harvests,
Gewurztraminer and Pinot Gris. It was a tough one but the 2017 vintage will produce really great wines.
Very young pale green colour with complementary straw yellow hints, star-bright and crystal-clear, clinging softly to the glass. The bouquet is immediately seductive, open and harmonious, so uncommonly expressive that it awakens the senses and the palate. It is agreeably fruit-driven: very ripe yellow fruit, apricot, Golden Delicious apple, greengage, acacia honey, fresh brioche and liquorice, with that light, slightly smoky, flinty touch that authenticates an excellent, ripe Pinot Gris, without any botrytis. The same harmony and balance can be found on the palate, which is soft and tender, with excellent structure, smooth and charming, giving a very tasty, dry finish that is refined and generous.
