Sparkling NV

Pirie

Minimum order of 1 case or 6 bottles (Mixed or straight)

A delightful sparkling from Tasmania's Tamar Valley, made from a blend of 55% Chardonnay and 45% Pinot Noir. Refreshing, zesty, and complex, the Pirie Sparkling NV is inherently drinkable with a vibrant rich palate, and delicate aromas of crisp apple, citrus and warm biscuit notes.

Food PairingsServe with natural oysters for the perfect start to a meal or try it with richer fish like baked ocean trout or yellowfin tuna. The Pirie NV could also be enjoyed with a ripe brie and thinly sliced granny smith apple segments.
