The Mad Hatter Wine Co Sparkling NV

The one rule for buying sparkling wine is make sure it comes from somewhere cool. Tasmania, New Zealand, Southern Victoria and Champagne are always good, as are the higher altitude vineyards of Orange in New South Wales.

This example from Orange is a bright and crisp style with juicy green apple and citrus fruits nicely rounded out with a little toasty complexity and a balanced touch of sweetness. It is a sparkling wine for everyday drinking.
