The 2018 Pressing Matters Blanc de Noirs is a refined Tasmanian sparkling wine crafted entirely from Pinot Noir, showcasing the freshness and precision of cool-climate fruit. The nose is bright and complex, revealing aromas of strawberry, red apple and citrus peel layered with subtle brioche, toasted almond and mineral notes developed through bottle ageing.
On the palate, it is finely textured and vibrant, with persistent fine mousse, crisp acidity and a long, dry finish. Flavours of red berry fruit, lemon curd and delicate pastry notes are balanced by freshness and subtle savoury complexity. The cool 2018 growing season has produced a sparkling wine with excellent structure, elegance and clarity.
Ben’s Recommendation: At Wine More Cellars, this is an excellent sparkling option for customers seeking a refined Blanc de Noirs with freshness, texture and cool-climate character. Drinking beautifully now while retaining the balance to evolve further over the next several years. Ideal with fresh oysters, smoked salmon, grilled prawns or light canapés.
