Deep straw clear and bright with a fine persistent bead. Wonderfully intense on the nose with fresh citrus, minerals, green apple and complex yeast autolysis. The palate has chiselled acidity with exemplary line and length. Impressive.

Sourced primarily from the Tamar Valley (with a little from Tasmania’s east coast), all the bright energy and endurance of northern Tasmanian chardonnay (55%) and pinot noir (45%) are elegantly framed in gorgeous lees-derived complexity. This makes for a cuvée at once vibrant and fresh and at the same time deeply textural and complex. The accord is captivating, and line and length are outstanding. The finest Pirie NV yet and with a street price of $25, it’s one of the best value sparklings on the shelves.
