Three sets of bubbles

None-vintage sparkling I believe are the best representation of what the house is all about.  The vintage variation gets blended away and the winemaker ends up producing the style that they are after. Now for the bottom of the range I am not sure what that looks like but for the big boys it can be very enchanting to get your hands on the NV as it gives a glimpse into what to expect. 

Patritti Brut NV 

There is a nice brut aroma that you would expect from a wine at about the 20 buck mark flowing from this  wine so I could sit back and smell this for a while before tucking in. There are those nutty zesty notes mixed with citrus and a richer element working from the front palate on. On the palate the wine fades but at this price this is a steal. Literally this beats wines at twice the price.

Tyrrell's Wines Old Winery Brut NV 

The Old Winery wine is a little dilute but it has some fruitiness that works well. The wine seems light and lemony on entry but it turns sweet from just after the front palate. While the finish was dry, the wine seemed a bit narrow yet still had a bit of interest with the flavour profile.

De Bortoli Emeri Pink Moscato NV 

Turn up the sweetness and hung me when you are nude! This wine makes me want to run free in the meadows as the flavours of musk stick and candied strawberries run wild. It is more than the flavours as this wine tastes more grapey than it does winey but I guess that is the very low alcohol talking. Smash me now.
