The Pyrenees Multi-Vintage Rosé provides a delicate salmon hue in the glass with a fine persistent bead. On the nose cherry and rosewater are complemented by red apple and sweet brioche. The palate is rich and creamy, delivering lovely red fruits with a natural acid drive to deliver a balanced extended finish.
Blend: 66% Chardonnay, 29% Pinot Noir, 5% Pinot Meunier

A little more generosity and a touch more dosage than the regular NV, or MV (multi-vintage), as this producer calls it. Wild strawberry, red licorice, musk and cool, almost alpine forest notes. Long and energetic, this is exquisite fizz.
Clover Hill is one of Australia’s principal Chardonnay, Pinot Noir and Pinot Meunier Cuvées. Founded by the Goelet family on the site of a former dairy farm in north-east Tasmania, Clover Hill was established in 1986 after an exhaustive search for an ideal site for the sole purpose of producing world-class sparkling wine to rival that of the Champagne region. The site, with its rich soil, natural sloping amphitheatre and maritime climate, was deemed to be the perfect location to produce superb Méthode Traditionnelle sparkling wine, rivaling the great Champagne Houses of France.
