Australian Sparkling Wine Case

River Retreat Sparkling Brut

NV BRUT Winemaking The grapes were picked during the cool of the night, the fruit was de-stemmed and pumped into the press. Only the best quality of free run juice was taken off; then clarified before adding yeast. The fermentation was carried out at a cool temperature to maintain the fruit flavours. After fermentation the base wine was allowed to rest on yeast lees for 6 months before undergoing a second fermentation to produce the fine bubbles. The Wine Light green straw in colour with a fine persistant bead showing lifted aromas of citrus and apple. Tasting soft and refreshing with light creaminess and balance.

Willowglen Sparkling Brut

Willowglen Sparkling Brut – To the eye a pale straw hue with an unrelenting fine bead. A bouquet of fresh lemon pith with complexing brioche & barley sugar. The palate is treated to a voluminous mousse of citrus and
freshly iced pastries that goes on and on to a delicately fresh fine acid finish.

Particular premium vineyards were chosen for their well-shaded canopy, slow ripening and acid retention. A blend of superb vintages.

The Chardonnay and Pinot Noir are picked in the cool of the night to retain acid. Ferments are warm to add interest and mouth feel. Harmony in the wine comes from the blending of the two varieties over numerous vintages. A secondary ferment is then undertaken in tank to add weight and a lovely creamy texture to the wine.

Drink by its self as an aperitif or with canapes, seafood or salads.

Paulett Trillians Sparkling Riesling

Are You Game Sparkling Vermentino by Fowles Wine

Are You Game Sparkling Vermentino – Vermentino is an aromatic grape variety native to Sardinia. With its late ripening, the variety is well suited to warmer climates and is thriving in the Riverland in Australia. They chose to plant the variety at their Upton Run vineyards to hedge against the threat of climate change, as it is used to the warmer ripening conditions. As the Strathbogie Ranges still remain cool, they are seeing when picked early, the lean green style of this fruit is ideally suited to creating a crisp sparkling wine base.
They started experimenting with Vermentino in our Are You Game Sparkling a few years ago. The blend has been the wonderfully poetic Chardonnay/Pinot/Vermentino. They noticed more and more how the fresh lively acidity, pear, apple and citrus fruit characters, helped create the perfect refreshing prosecco style sparkling wine. It was a natural progression to move to a Vermentino dominant blend.
The new Are You Game Sparkling Vermentino is pale green in colour with delicate and clean aromas of citrus blossom and pink lady apples. The wine is light and fresh on the palate with apple and mineral characters bursting through, followed by a balanced acidity and good length.

Are You Game Sparkling Vermentino – Served perfectly with fresh yabby, brushed with garlic and parsley butter, seared on the barbeque on damper – a truly Aussie take on the famous San Francisco lobster roll.

The Fowles Wine vineyards and winery are located in the dramatic granite landscape of Strathbogie Ranges region of Victoria, Australia.
