4 Stars: Sam Kim, Wine Orbit

Not all of the great bubbly is produced in Champagne ... and here's proof from Burgundy.

"A beautifully elegant nose showing lemon/lime, chalk and subtle yeasty characters. The palate is finely textured with crisp apple acidity and a lingering finish. A stylish and friendly sparkling with a touch of class. Great value". Sam Kim, Wine Orbit

AN AUSSIE CLASSIC

Beautifully deep in colour with a persistent fine bead. The nose is an enticing mélange of chocolate, dark cherry, hints of spice, a touch of vanilla. A beautifully integrated and fully harmonious wine offering an explosion of flavour balanced by the complexity resulting from its time in the bottle.

During 150 years of winemaking, Seppelt has built a reputation of innovation and unswerving dedication to quality. The Seppelt philosophy involves harnessing the strengths of each viticultural region to create varietally and
regionally expressive wines of great character.

Seppelt has had more experience with this unique Australian wine style than any other winemaker. Although there are no precise records, it appears the winery was experimenting with sparkling... Read more »

a masterclass in elegance and finesse.

This is smoother and fruitier than Cordon Negro with lovely stonefruit and citrus characters on the nose. The palate is rounded and delightful with silky texture leading to a pleasant crisp finish. A well balanced and appealing style suited to any occasion. Aug 2010. Sam Kim; The Wine Orbit

Stylish Spanish Cava - a masterclass in elegance and finesse.

"SIMPLY THE BEST FIZZ IN THE TASTING"

5 STARS: TiZwine.com

"Simply the best fizz in the tasting. The labels on the Frizzell bottles may draw a good deal of attention given their creator but this should not detract from the regularly excellent wines contained within. Rod McDonald is the winemaker and this is definitely a partnership going places. The earthy tones on the nose are followed by peaches, baked apples and brioche in the palate - all in a creamy mousse that provides complexity and great length. The perfect celebration drink." TiZwine.com Review

"A beautifully refreshing bubbly with a very clever and striking label, not surprisingly, designed by the famous artist. A very fine and elegant bouquet displaying subtle citrus,... Read more »

PRICE TO CLEAR, MASSIVE SAVINGS ON DELICIOUS VINTAGE BUBBLY

"Pale straw in colour with a fine mousse and persistent bead. Yellowglen Brut 2007 is a creamy, delicate and refreshing sparkling wine with a lifted bouquet of melon, citrus and nougat. The mid-palate displays lovely yeast complexity and a smooth lingering finish. Drinking beautifully now but has the cellaring potential of up to five years."

Yellowglen Winery, Established in 1971, has produced a premium vintage range of sparkling wines that dates back to 2000. Yellowglen Vintage Pinot Noir Chardonnay, (affectionately known as 'PNC') is one of the winery's
original vintage sparkling wines. Sourced from regions acknowledged for growing the finest quality grapes, including significant parcels from cool climate areas such as Adelaide... Read more »

"Sauvignon Blanc with bubbles works brilliantly in the vibrant and easy drinking sparkling wine, showing typical sauvignon passionfruit and lime zest flavours. The palate is juicy and refreshing with a lovely crisp dry finish. The wine is well flavoured and very pleasant". At its best now to 2012.

FYI: In 1446, Jean and Nicolas Moët were made nobles by King Charles VII, thus was born the famous dynasty that later was to give its name to the greatest chapter in the history of champagne. In 1743 one of the descendants of the Moët brothers Claude Moët, who had been a wine trader in Epernay since the early 18th century, founded the Maison Moët. His grandson, Jean Rémy Moët, who was a visionary with... Read more »

HIGHLY RECOMMENDED – Outstanding Value

"Seaview were one of the first 'New World' wineries to use the authentic French technique (Methode Champenoise) to make their wines. Today Seaview concentrate exclusively on producing sparkling wine which they export throughout the world. Seaview Brut has soft, rich fruit characters and freshness, combined with yeast aromas.

The palate is full and flavoursome, offering fresh fruit characters and the slightest touch of sweetness which softens the finish."

THRILLING PROSECCO. FRESH AND VERY FASHIONABLE

This very exciting fizz has been superbly crafted using 100% Prosecco grapes - and is simply the perfect way to start an evening. But that's only if you don't drink it for breakfast!

Bright straw colour. Elegant fruity aromas of pear, apple and citrus. Delightfully smooth, fresh and well balanced, with plenty of light, refreshing bubbles. Great on its own, or with fresh peach juice in a Bellini, and with light seafood pasta and fresh cheeses

"Fresh and fruity wine with good citrus character and enough acidity to leave a pleasantly drying finish.
Henkell has never tasted this good!"Bob Campbell MW

"This dry, fully matured sparkling wine owes its elegant character to a unique Cuvee of excellent wines originating from such classic grape varieties as French Chardonnay, Sauvignon Blanc, Blanc de Noir from French Pinot Noir and Chenin from Saumur. The finely blended, harmonious composition makes Henkell Trocken a well-balanced, consummate taste experience"

FABULOUSLY FRESH, HIGH QUALITY AFFORDABLE FRENCH FIZZ

4.5 STARS: Sam Kim, Wine Orbit

Here's proof that not all great bubbly is produced in Champagne! Vueve Moisans comes from the oldest sparkling wine producer in the Loire Valley. If it was made in Champagne it would be three times the price.

Pale gold with an elegant bouquet of white flowers and honey, fresh, concentrated lemon-lime and biscuity flavours.

"Fresh and elegant, the nose displays subtle citrus, floral and chalky mineral characters. It's vibrant and refreshing on the palate with crisp acidity, soft texture and a clean, dry finish. A very stylish and appealing sparkling wine from the classic region of Loire Valley."Sam Kim, Wine... Read more »

4 STARS: Decanter Magazine

"Elegant green apple and redcurrant fruit with lively acidity and lovely underlying yeasty, bready notes. Delicate style, but plenty of concentration of flavour"- Decanter Magazine

THE ULTIMATE IN ROSÉ CHAMPAGNE

Krug Rosé is a relatively recent addition to the Krug range of Champagnes, having been introduced first in 1983. While produced in a manner similar to other Krug Champagnes and stylistically consistent, it nevertheless presents a uniquely exotic and intriguing set of aromas and flavours. It's colour is a pale salmon, suggesting the barest hint of pink. It is quite dry and appealing with a wide array of cuisines. Krug Rosé... Read more »
