Sparkling Wines Australia

Key characteristics of sparkling wine

Sparkling wine can be crafted from both white and red grape varieties, resulting in a range of wines from dry to sweet. In addition to the type of grapes used, the flavours are influenced by the methods used and the climate they're grown in. Each bottle offers a unique tasting experience, reflecting its distinct origins and the artistry of its creation.

Whether enjoyed on its own or paired with gourmet cuisine, our sparkling wines elevate any occasion with their charm and finesse. Their clear appearance, often with a golden or pale straw hue, is a symbol of luxury. When poured into a flute or coupe glass, the stream of bubbles rising to the surface adds a touch of festivity to any setting.

• Flavour profile

Sparkling wine combines crisp acidity with balanced sweetness. Expect bright notes of lime, green apple and lemon alongside subtle hints of stone fruits, honey and almonds. Traditional method wines, like Champagne, involve longer ageing on the lees, leading to richer flavours. On the other hand, tank-fermented wines, like Prosecco, maintain a fresh, fruity character.

• Distinct effervescence

Sparkling wine is most known for its persistent bubbles. These are produced during a second fermentation process, which can take place either in the bottle (traditional method) or in large tanks (Charmat method). This effervescence creates a smoother, creamier mouthfeel, enhancing the overall tasting experience.

• Unique aromas

Sparkling wine offers a captivating bouquet ranging from notes of citrus and green apple to rich, nutty undertones of brioche and toasted nuts. Floral and herbal accents add complexity, making every glass a sensory delight.

• Food pairings

Our sparkling wines are incredibly versatile, making them an ideal companion for various dishes:

• Oysters and shellfish 

The briny, fresh flavours of oysters and shellfish complement the crisp acidity and effervescence of Champagne.

• Light appetisers

Fresh salads, bruschetta, and antipasti pair wonderfully with Prosecco’s radiant and fruity profile.

• Fruit-based desserts

Pair Prosecco with fruit tarts, sorbets, and light pastries for a refreshing end to your meal.

• Charcuterie boards

A selection of cured meats, cheeses and olives pairs beautifully with the robust and nuanced flavours of Cava.

• Grilled meats

The fruity and floral notes of sparkling rosé complement the savoury richness of grilled chicken, turkey and seafood.
