Historically Clover Hill has followed a traditional pathway of vintage and non-vintage Methode Traditionnelle sparkling wines. But are forging a new path. We believe the most critical elements of sparkling wine are distinctive styles, consistently produced which enables consumers to develop a deep understanding and trust in our brand.

A vibrant Tasmanian sparkling; 59/35/6% chardonnay/pinot noir/pinot meunier. Shows light straw with green flashes in the glass and a fine, energetic bead. Citrus and stone fruits on the nose with some crunchy green apple, dabs of cream, proving bread, white flowers, sea spray and stone. Crisp, balanced and refreshing with a briney, mineral line; all detail and velocity and outstanding, sapid drinking at this price. - Dave Brookes

A good opening act. Demur, dry and considerably more classy than most domestic fizz. The modest dosage holds the clutch in a mode if restraint, with hints of citrus, orchard fruits and freshly lain tatami straw revealed with air. Lees-derived creaminess is applied sparingly, conferring a subtle nuttiness without any toasty excess. A wine that is strongly reflective of the grower idiom, if comparisons must be made with Champagne. Very good driinking.
