Pirie Blanc de Blancs Tasmania

After months of intensive champagne tasting, it’s a joy to pop an Australian sparkling that has matured to that wonderful place where silky texture and toasty complexity meld seamlessly with crisp, lively white fruits. Lovely purity and complexity of roast nuts and butter coast over a core of white peach and lemon zest fruit. The palate is at once creamy and silky and at the same time refreshing and crisp, with a lingering finish of beautifully integrated dosage and fine, mineral structure. Benchmark.
