Clover Hill’s workhorse. Méthode Traditionelle. A blend of 53% Chardonnay, 42% Pinot Noir and 5% Pinot Meunier. Aged for at least 2 years on lees.

Clover Hill, Tasmanian Cuvée, Tasmania, NV

Pale straw yellow in colour with a brighter green edge. Fine lacing and medium paced beading. Desirable nose with honeyed edges to light toast, cashew cream, pea straw, sea spray, warm spiced apple, lime zest and a hint of red fruits. Fresh, vibrantly tight medium-weighted palate, fine mousse with cutting Tassie acidity through zesty citrus and red currant lift. Lovely balance for this party starter and just a joy to drink.
