A sparkling from the popular Marlborough region of NZ. This is a deliciously crisp sparkling that is perfect for all occasions. Whether it's a small milestone or a big celebration you can't go wrong popping the cork of this quality sparkling.

Bollinger Special Cuvée is unquestionably one of the finest of all French champagnes, the Bollinger style is distinctive for its full-bodied toasty character derived from a high proportion of Pinot Noir and the inclusion of base wine that has been matured in oak.

The thrilling energy of this splendid season charges it with a vibrancy and definition that places this blend on a plateau elevated high above even the lofty heights that this cuvee has attained under the new Charles Heidsieck. In searching for any other entry non-vintage cuvee to which to compare it, I can fathom none short of the mesospheric heights of Krug itself. In sheer age (current Krug Grande Cuvee is only one year older) and depth of reserves, this Charles Heidsieck splendidly upholds its elevated position among Champagne's richer NVs... In sheer, breathtaking calibre for the price, this is the greatest Charles Heidsieck Brut Reserve I can remember. It deserves to be the house champagne we all have chilled perpetually at the ready this year. Rating: 96/100.

Yellow Label is the signature of Veuve Clicquot’s quality and style, recreated every year thanks to our priceless collection of reserve wines. Its label reflects the champagne’s bright personality and impeccable winemaking credentials.

Product Description: Bollinger B16 is a vintage Champagne shaped by the contrasts of the 2016 season, a year that tested the limits of the region and highlighted the resilience of the Maison. Drawn largely from late-ripening Grand and Premier Cru sites in the Montagne de Reims, the wine reflects a blend of approximately 73 percent Pinot Noir and 27 percent Chardonnay, showing a refined tension between depth and clarity. Fermentation in oak barrels and more than seven years on lees give the wine its poised texture and subtle complexity. The 2016 growing season moved from cold, wet conditions and spring frosts to an intense late summer, concentrating flavours while reducing yields. Bollinger’s decision to focus on structured Pinot Noir from its strongest terroirs brings definition and drive, supported by Chardonnay that adds lift and detail. Manual riddling and disgorgement preserve the precision of the blend, while the extra brut dosage of 4 g/L maintains transparency and restraint. B16 steps away from Bollinger’s more muscular cuvées and leans into purity and finesse. The black and white bottle echoes the vintage’s interplay of delicacy and depth, presenting a Champagne that feels composed, textural and finely etched. It is well suited to dishes that highlight clean lines and gentle richness such as oysters, scallops or lightly poached seafood. Tasting Notes NOSE – Floral and lifted Hawthorn and acacia with white stone fruit, bergamot and subtle almond. PALATE – Silky and precise Pear and yellow plum with citrus zest, candied lemon and a mineral edge supported by gentle saline tension. FINISH – Long and mineral Persistent and elegant with refined salinity and a lingering chalky line. Reviews & Accolades “A sophisticated champagne with extremely refined character and linear phenolics that give it length and class. It's medium-bodied with grapefruit and apples as well as pie crust. Bright acidity at the end.” - James Suckling, 96 points “Supple and already blooming, with a spicy and lush nose from oak and a salty tang.” - Essi Avellan MW, 94–96 points “Lively and more floral than many a Bollinger champagne, almost transparent and filigree with marked but not excessive acidity.” - Jancis Robinson MW, 17.5/20 Finer Details: Style - Champagne Varietal - Pinot Noir Chardonnay Country - France Region - Champagne Vintage - 2016 Bottle Size - 750ml ABV - 12%

"Fresh, clean, vibrant iced pastry aroma, lovely and chard-ish. Similarly clean and fresh in the mouth, with evident dosage, but also a clean finish, soft and equable. A very easy drinking wine and well turned-out." 92 points Huon Hooke

Clover Hill was founded in 1986, on the site of a former dairy farm in north-east Tasmania with the sole purpose of producing premium, world-renowned sparkling wines. The Clover Hill site was selected for it’s ancient volcanic soils and sheltered amphitheatre. These fertile, undulating hills are now lined with rows of Clover Hill’s Pinot vines. The 66-hectare property in Lebrina, Pipers River, overlooks Bass Straight and provides an optimal vineyard environment. A cool maritime climate, with mild autumn temperatures ranging between a high of 25 and a low of 10 degrees. This results in a long ripening season, allowing superior flavour development, low sugar levels and high natural acidity: the perfect combination for super premium wine in traditional sparkling varieties - Chardonnay, Pinot Noir and Pinot Meunier. The process of crafting elegant sparkling wines in the traditional, French manner, known as méthod traditionelle (traditional method), is a highly specialised field. This places Clover Hill in an elite group as one of the few sparkling houses in Australia to exclusively utilise this method. Under their multi-vintage philosophy, Clover Hill focus on managing a reserve wine program to consistently produce wines of elegance and excellence. This approach allows them to create a highly desirable Clover Hill house style. They use four reserve wines – on yeast lees in tank and bottle combined with reserves in oak – large format oak – Foudre and stainless steel. Holding the reserve on yeast lees enhances freshness and vibrancy with the benefit of reducing the use of preservatives. The oaked components enhance and contribute both viscosity and mouthfeel to the wines. This Multi Vintage Exceptionnelle exhibits a light straw/green hue in the glass, with a fine persistent mousse. On the nose it delivers vibrant citrus and stone fruits which are complemented by layers of creamy complexity. The palate offers a crisp acidity and a concentration of rich and balanced lemon curd and lime which draw the wine through to a delicious and extended finish.
