Bass River Sparkling

The 2021 Bass River '1835' Vintage Brut is a sophisticated, traditional-method sparkling that highlights the exceptional cool-climate potential of the Bass River valley in South Gippsland. Crafted from a classic blend of Pinot Noir and Chardonnay, this 2021 vintage benefited from a long, temperate growing season, allowing for the development of intense flavour while maintaining the high natural acidity essential for premium sparkling wine.

On the nose, it offers an elegant mix of green apple, citrus zest, and a subtle "biscuity" complexity from extended time on lees. The palate is fine and persistent, featuring a creamy mousse, a crisp mineral backbone, and a dry, refreshing finish. As part of the '1835' series, this wine honours the region's heritage while delivering a modern, world-class bubble that rivals the refinement of grower Champagne.
