Tasmania is now the go-to source for top sparklings. It says something that Corryton Burge which calls the Barossa Valley home acknowledges the Apple Isle’s quality and has sourced its fruit for this stylish sparkling wine. Naturally high acidity and a cool climate purity of fruit is a calling card of the island ‘s sparklings, and it is to be enjoyed here. Striking scent of lemon zest and citrus blossom, Granny Smith apple and rockpool notes. Precise with a super clarity of fruit expression that builds in tandem with gentle bready, croissant notes. Middle palate generosity finishes clean thanks to the wine’s acid drive.
