The 2021 Empire of Dirt Bang Bang Cloudy Sparkling is a lively and unconventional pétillant naturel-style sparkling wine that perfectly reflects the winery’s minimal-intervention philosophy. Produced from organically grown fruit with minimal additions and bottled unfined and unfiltered, the wine retains its natural cloudiness and vibrant character. Crafted to be fresh, energetic and fun, Bang Bang celebrates the wilder side of Australian wine while remaining beautifully balanced and highly drinkable.
The nose bursts with aromas of green apple, pear and citrus zest alongside notes of white flowers, fresh bread dough and a hint of tropical fruit. The palate is bright and refreshing, with fine natural bubbles carrying flavours of lemon, orchard fruit and grapefruit. The cloudy texture adds complexity and mouthfeel, while lively acidity keeps the wine crisp, energetic and wonderfully refreshing. The finish is dry, zesty and packed with personality.
Ben’s Recommendation:
A joyful, naturally made sparkling wine that is all about freshness and fun. Vibrant, textural and incredibly easy to enjoy, it pairs beautifully with oysters, prawns, fried seafood, charcuterie, soft cheeses and picnic fare. Serve well chilled and enjoy with friends while its youthful energy and natural charm are at their peak.
