The Wine Front – A blend of chardonnay and pinot noir from Tasmania’s Coal River Valley, this shows citrus and yeasty/ bready characters on the nose and palate, with a fresh, crisp finish. Enjoy by itself or with fresh oysters, smoked salmon or creamy chicken dishes.
About This Wine
Full and crisp, this delicate Tasmanian sparkling is driven by apple and ripe citrus combined with a fresh pear and toasty brioche perfume. It’s light to medium-bodied with apple, strawberry and zesty lemon flavours and a subtle creamy texture. This premium sparkling is definitely worth a try. Perfect with natural oysters or creamy chicken dishes.

Tasmanian Wine
The Tasmanian wine region is a cool climate region, the most southerly of all wine regions in Australia. Due to the lower temperatures, the area grows primarily Chardonnay, Pinot Noir and Sauvignon Blanc, with smaller plantings of Riesling, Pinot Gris and Cabernet Sauvignon.
“Having been to many wine tastings over the years, I can definitely say from a personal standpoint that Tasmanian Chardonnay and Pinot noir are always ones I look forward to trying if they are on the menu. They are almost always high calibre wines that can easily compete against what the rest of the world has to offer in these varietals.” Jason C. – World Wine.
While Tasmania makes great still wines, the exceptional Chardonnay and Pinot Noir also make for excellent sparkling wines.
More recent vintages since 2005 have been positively impacted by the effects of global warming. With slightly higher temperatures the grapes are ensured to ripen fully and produce more vibrant wine.
