Christmas Sparkling Six Pack

Six sparkling beauties to pop and add sparkle and finesse to any seasonal gathering. These are superb – perfect for Christmas – and offer exceptional value from France and Australia saving you $54.

Winner of two Golds and a Trophy, this popular vintage French bubbly is made in exactly the same way as vintage Champagne, and similarly rich in Chardonnay and Pinot Noir. Laurent Mingaud, original winemaker behind this fizz, is back in charge working his magic beneath the cool hills of Limoux.

Monks here in Saint Hilaire are said to have mastered sparkling wine methods in 1531 – over a century before Champagne’s Dom Pérignon declared he was “drinking the stars”. Remarkably, nearly half the wine is oak fermented, a rare and expensive technique used in $450-a-bottle Krug! Rich, biscuity, with ripe peach and creamy citrus zest, it’s a genuine alternative to pricey Champagne.

Laurent also crafts the sought-after, Gold medal Roche rosé. An elegant pink that owes its salmon hue, like the finest pink Champagnes, to gently pressed Pinot Noir. It’s a distinguished and enchanting fizz that brims with classic, strawberry-scented finesse – lovely with smoked salmon.

Howard Vineyard’s Gold, 95pt perfect celebration fizz, with ripest Pinot and Chardonnay from the Beautiful Valley and Charleston vineyards, is “an elegant Adelaide Hills sparkling wine combining vibrant citrus and orchard fruit with fine bubbles, creamy texture and refreshing acidity” (Vino Masters).
