The Angas Brut Non Vintage Cuvée is a blend of 75% Pinot Noir and 25% Chardonnay. Very pale straw in colour, the lifted 'strawberry and cream' and biscuit characters of Pinot Noir contribute to the palate richness. This is counter-balanced by the 'citrus' Chardonnay fruit structure and fine acidity of the wine. Boottle fermentation and ageing on yeast lees gives this wine complexity and some lovely nutty flavours.

Very good value every day bubbles with enticing fine beaded bubbles lazily finding their way to the surface. It is very important to over produce on quality and the team at Zilzie have done this in spades with this sparkling although you have to appreciate it is expensive to to do. So I can recommend this sparkling wine as the perfect compliment for all those special occasions when you need to be uplifted in a way which is delicate, fulfilling and most importantly enjoyable!

This current release is a light straw colour with some youthful green tinges showing. The nose is lifted with aromas of freshly crushed grapes, musk and melon characters. In the mouth the wine is alive with a vibrant and mouth filling sherbet flavour. A wine of universal appeal, the retained carbon dioxide gives a frizzante effect – the result a lively and fresh wine in the mouth. Serve well chilled and enjoy while young and fresh.

15 medals!!! fantastic, sexy, medium to full bodied traditional Shiraz with distinct, rich plum and pepper characters. Good this is refreshigly good! Parcels of the ripe fruit flavours are complexed by oak tannins, as a result of maturation in oak hogsheads for up to fifteen months, leaving a smooth, lasting finish. I have searched high and low for a better wine in its price point , but this is it folks! Christmas Turkey Watch Out.

Here is a simply perfect way to impress some guests or treat yourself ! Start with a sunny day a lightly planned lunch or a good reason to celebrate. This wine is different! This wine is elegant, a summer wine, either as an aperitif or with lighter foods. More sophisticated than most, Hewitson Moscato is also dryer in style, substituting fruit flavour in place of sugar, encouraged by a touch of extra ripeness. The result is a very light and ultra-refreshing, crisp wine with summer citrus, melon and peach flavours. Hewitson Moscato retains a light, natural effervescence, enhancing the brightness and freshness of this wine. At only 10% alcohol, Hewitson Moscato can be enjoyed in moderation.

The Chandon NV Rosé is a fresh, vibrant and elegant aperitif style crafted in the traditional method. Enticing and distinctive it has a long, generous palate and a bright,
crisp finish. The colour is reminiscent of pink peach skin with vibrant rose gold to light bronze hues. Fresh ripe black cherries, citrus and stone fruit notes dominate the nose, complimented by freshly baked pie crust aromas from 18 months of yeast age. The entry is gentle and creamy with mouthfilling stone fruits, raspberry and vanilla icecream characters. Soft
citrus tones keep the palate fresh and balanced. The inclusion of a little red Pinot Noir base wine in the assemblage provides an extra layer of complexity, additional richness
and persistence to the dry, crisp finish.

**** Crown Seal **** The finesse of Chardonnay with the power of Pinot, a bone dry, aperitif style sparkling wine created without traditional dosage liqueur. Vibrant pale straw colour with hints of green. A fresh yet complex blend of citrus and spice aromas are complemented by hints of cracked wheat and sweet pastry. The Chardonnay provides softness up front, and the Pinot Noir and Pinot Meunier offer a long lingering and crisp finish. Drinking well now but will remain fresh for 5-10 years.

Nutty, baked bread characters evolved during yeast ageing in bottle complement the primary Chardonnay characters of citrus and melon whilst the savoury Pinot characters extend into a creamy and rich nutty middle palate.

Lovely rich, complex fruit characters with lusciousness the whole length of the palate leading to a fresh, clean finish.

This unique style is modelled on the French Champagne style 'doux'. The Cuvée Riche is unmistakably sweeter, richer and more luscious yet finishes efreshingly crisp. Cuvée Riche is a surprisingly adaptable wine, it can be enjoyed as a richer apéritif style and it is ideal with food such as foie gris, paté and smoked salmon. As a dessert wine, it best matches desserts of low sweetness such as tarte tatin, quince tart or summer pudding.

I simply have to defer to my learned friends here and agree with their review that this wine has a beautiful, intense nose: what a communication of the variety (shiraz). There is a prickle of pepper amongst fine, some sweet liquorice spices, drawn over a canvas of textured, ripe, macerated small dark berries.

The complexity is awesome and the wine's poise superb. The mouth rushes with an amalgam of velvety richness, lashings of layered flavour carried on the fizz, a suggestion of earthiness here, and smudge of ripe tannin there. Seductive, structured, long Boudoir wine.

By appointment to HRH Princess of wales no less and what a ripper drink to set you apart from the rest.“Laurent-Perrier Brut L-P NV, with its vanilla pastry flavours, offer two of the Best Values from Champagne in this issue.”   Wine Spectator

Delightful pale gold in colour with fine and persistent bubbles. Just the sort of bead that heralds a wonderful experience to come. Not too excited , just the right amount of persistence. Aroma is both delicate and fresh, with good complexity and notes of citrus and with fruit. Fresh and supple upon entry with rounded and expressive flavours from which the fruit progressively emerges. Good balance and length.
 
Probably better suited tanh some french as not as bold in the yeast department and therefore suits some palates which find that style a bit too much for celebrating life's better days!

First, Yellow Label looks beautiful: golden-yellow, with a foaming necklace of tine bubbles. Next it is so pleasing to the nose: initially reminiscent of white fruits and raisins, then of vanilla and later of brioche. Note the fine balance between the fruity aromas coming from th grape varieties and the toasty aromas following the ageing in the bottle. The first sip delivers all the freshness and forcefulness so typical of Yellow Label with a symphony of fruit tastes following on. Here is a true member of the
powerful Brut family, well structured, admirably vinous. The lingering aromas echo and re-echo, with each fruit or spice note distinct.

Veuve Clicquot Yellow Label manages to reconcile two opposing factors - forcefulness and finesse - and to hold them in perfect balance. This consistent power to please makes it ideal as an aperitif, and perfect as the Champagne to enjoy
with a meal.

Reminds me of the 1920's when everything was frightfuly daring and all the darlings were trying the Pink!
With an emphasis on pinot noir, this wine is fruity, daring, spontaneous, and seductive in character. A tender structure on the midpalate is followed by a fresh and supple finish. Looking for a special sparkling wine to celebrate in the early afternoons or specifically a beautiful combo with Asian dishes , chilli and spice this will do rather nicely thanks Jeeve's!

Made using grapes from 50 to 60
different villages, the structure is based on Veuve Clicquot Brut Yellow Label's traditional blend, i.e.
• 50 to 55% Pinot Noir
• 15 to 20% Pinot Meunier
• 28 to 33% Chardonnay
The blend includes a high percentage
(25-35%, sometimes 40%) of “reserve wines” originating from several harvests of the past, which ensures the consistency and quality of the house style. It is completed with approximately 12% of red wine using black grapes especially
raised and selected to give a marvellous balance to this Rosé.

Whether or not you particularly like the unmistakeable Bollinger style, you have to respect it. Pinot noir (60 per cent) and pinot meunier (15 per cent) drive the wine, augmented by fermentation in old oak barrels. The result is a complex spicy, bready, toasty, baked apple bouquet, the palate complete and round, with an unexpected touch of delicacy, and a pleasing, dry finish. Rating: 94 out of 100, James Halliday.

This wine has a brilliant, attractive golden-yellow colour. It emanates fruity aromas (peaches,pears, apricots) and very biscuity notes (brioche, honey, almonds, hazelnuts). After a few minutes, the bouquet develops, leading to hints of sweet spices and with the fruity notes
taking on a more candied flavour.
In the mouth, the wine is flavoursome and full. The Pinot Noir grapes, the majority variety in this wine, provide strength and structure, while the finish, where the Chardonnay plays its role perfectly, remains fresh and clean. In good conditions, the Vintage 2002 can be kept for 10 to 15 years, during which time it will develop complexity and aromatic richness.

A beautiful , calming Salmon-pink in colour. There are aromas which are precise and very crisp with a lasting impression of freshness, it has hints of soft red fruits, such as strawberries, redcurrants, raspberries and black cherries.

Intense fruity flavours begin clean and well-defined upon entry, the wine then opens up to provide a melange of flavours consisting of fresh strawberries, raspberries and wild cherries. It has great length and is rounded and supple on the finish.

$110 a bottle for a current release Australian sparkling wine might seem implausible, if not outrageous. But if you want to find out just how close the wine in question comes to the style of Bollinger, the price takes on a different make-up. The LD Hanging Rock Cuvée Six (96 points) spent almost nine years on lees before disgorging in September this year. Its excellent fine mousse attests to its very long lees contact, as does its immaculate balance, despite its low dosage of only 2g per litre of sugar.

The complex bready/biscuity characters of the palate are reminiscent of Bollinger, and very good acidity stretches out the long, lingering finish.

The master drink and the right drink for all masters of the Universe! Dom Perignon is considered the definition of luxury, certainly it has been imortalised by film, fashion and the generally well healed on all the right occassions. With a fullness in the mouth, its earthy, smoky, pearly complexity rises to the surface, underscored by the vibrant warmth of peppery spice. The sensation of intensity develops and melts into a deep, rounded heart, with a fruity, exotic maturity and a slight touch of aniseed. This sensation, almost unsettling, is even more pronounced in the finish, while the notes of spice, still present, remain discreet, with toasted, iodine flavours. Praised for its ""well-orchestrated, precise, and full-bodied taste" , this is a perfect gift to celebrate something extraordinary!

La Grande Dame 1998 has a pale gold colour with jade glints. The wine is crystal clear, with unbelievably fine bubbles.

On the first nose, typical Chardonnay characteristics come to the fore, with the arrival of floral and mineral aromas (acacia, ferns, chalk). By agitating the wine, scents of candied fruit (citrus fruits, apricots, quince) and sweet almond emerge, to reappear later in the mouth. After rotating the wine for a few minutes more, rare notes such as peaty malt, tobacco and delicate herbs, are gradually unveiled.

This aromatic, impressively complex bouquet is confirmed in the mouth. On the palate, the wine is clear-cut and pure, perfectly balanced with a delightful silky smoothness. La Grande Dame 1998, with its lace-like construction, has a long, lively, and structured finish. This wine has unbelievable ageing potential. The1998 vintage of La Grande Dame, the quintessence of the Veuve Clicquot style, reaches a peak of refinement, without losing its legendary strength produced by a blend including nearly two-thirds of Pinot Noir.

The cuvee is blended exclusively with the best Chardonnay Grand Crus grapes from the Côte des Blancs and Montagne de Reims vineyards. A sparkling, golden yellow robe with delicate bronze-green glints, an extremely fine and persistent effervescence, accompanied with delicate and abundant bubbles… this wine is a delight to the eye. The nose is elegant and subtle, with notes of white flowers and citrus fruits coming to the fore. As the wine warms in the glass, the bouquet develops gourmet notes of brioche and toast, dominated by a mineral edge. The attack of this vintage is fine and particularly silky, leading to intense notes of exotic fruits followed by a refreshing and extremely long finish.

Using traditional methods, the House of Krug makes no compromise in time or expense with their Champagnes. Three grape varieties contribute to the complexity of the blends: Pinot Noir, for fullness and ability to age beautifully, Meunier for fruitiness and bouquet, and Chardonnay for finesse and elegance
