Wine
Pirie Tasmania Sparkling Vintage is a blend of Pinot Noir and Chardonnay, hand harvested from cool climate vineyards in northern Tasmania's Tamar Valley.
The fruit is whole bunch pressed. In strict adherence with the méthode traditionnelle (traditional method), 100% of the wine undergoes malolactic fermentation and a long, slow secondary fermentation in bottle.
The wine spends five years resting on lees before disgorging and dosage (the yeast lees are removed and the wine is topped up with a solution of base wine and sugar).
Golden straw, Pirie Tasmania Sparkling Vintage is a rich, creamy, zesty wine with a kick of cool climate acidity. Cellaring potential is four years from release.
