Celebrate Australia Day with Award Winning Sparkling Wine

Australia Day the 26th January is celebrated each year on the anniversary of the first fleet from Britain landing in Sydney Cove.

So what better way to celebrate the day than with some award winning sparkling wine from Australia.

Paulett Vineyards – Trillians Sparkling Red NV

This red sparkling wine won a Gold Medal in the Gastronomic Category at The World’s Finest Glass of Bubbly Awards 2018.

Australia is renowned for their sparkling wines, usually drunk with the Christmas barbecue. This extraordinary speciality red sparkling wine is based on a cool climate Cabernet Shiraz blend from vines situated on the Trillians Hills in Clare Valley. It is a deep ruby colour with a lively mousse yet the savoury and plum aromas and subtle tannins give a lasting impression of elegance and well balanced restraint. Can be enjoyed in two ways – a standalone drink with friends or a beautiful accompaniment to a meal.

It is available to buy in the UK via Ellis Wines

Umamu Estate – 2012 Sparkling Chardonnay

This sparkling wine won a Bronze Medal in the Zesty & Zingy Category at The World’s Finest Glass of Bubbly Awards 2018.

UMAMU is inspired by balance and contentment. These values reflect the balance they seek on the journey from vine to wine.  This sparkling wine has aromas of lemon and honey with a honey zesty flavour, it is an elegant wine with a zing to it. Enjoy a glass of this sparkling Chardonnay with scallops.
