The Ninth Island Sparkling Brut NV is a classic Tasmanian sparkling wine crafted in a traditional method style, blending Chardonnay, Pinot Noir and Pinot Meunier for freshness and complexity. The nose is bright and aromatic, showing citrus zest, green apple and pear, layered with white flowers, subtle vanilla and delicate yeasty notes.
On the palate, it is light to medium-bodied with a fine, lively mousse and a creamy texture from lees ageing. Flavours of lemon curd, crisp apple and subtle strawberry are balanced by vibrant acidity, leading to a clean, dry and refreshing finish. The style is elegant, fresh and approachable, offering excellent balance between fruit, acidity and complexity.
