Known around the globe, Australia has solidified a first rank for the world's best sparkling wines-austere varieties that typify its gold and languid wine-making culture, yet hold all of the playfulness and innovation of a trailblazer. The Wine Export introduces you to Australian's finest sparkling wines, serving you with exceptional selections that are crafted with precision, passion, and a sense of what makes a fine bottle of bubbly.

The Tradition of Sparkling Wines in Australia
The origin of Australian sparkling wine can be traced all the way to the 19th century. Today, this country produces high-quality, competitive sparkling wines, and some of the best varieties produced across the world. Winemakers from Tasmania, the Yarra Valley, and the Adelaide Hills are indeed known for their ability to craft some of the finest sparkling wines, ranging from the light and fresh to the complex and luxurious.

These wines are produced through a variety of methods, including the traditional method, also known as méthode traditionnelle. The same process that is used to make real Champagne is followed; it would include secondary fermentation in the bottle, giving a fine bubble with rich depth of flavor. Other methods, such as the Charmat method, produce more everyday, affordable, fruit-driven sparkling wines to celebrate any kind of occasion.

Top Sparkling Wine Regions in Australia

Tasmania
If you adore cooler climates, then Tasmania is the hub for Australia's most beautiful sparkling wines. The climate here can be likened to Champagne, so it would not be shocking if one imagines the quality of sparkling wines and elegant acidity and fine bubbles produced in this island. Fresh, crisp balanced flavors have been some of the common descriptions that people come together and talk about when describing the varieties from Tasmania. Flavors include green apple, citrus, and toasty brioche.

Yarra Valley
The Yarra Valley is technically one of Australia's oldest wine regions, lying just east of Melbourne in southeastern Australia. It is a cool-climate region and, I imagine, by virtue of its diverse terroir, an excellent place for the production of sparkling wines. Chardonnay and Pinot Noir are often used in blend and the wines of this region can be quite refreshing and complex, with notes of stone fruit and citrus flavors and subtle yeast character.

Adelaide Hills
Another region for the significant production of sparkling wines is Adelaide Hills. The climate is characterized by altitude and coolness. The champagne from this region is usually lively and vibrant flavors of white peach and lemon zest, with creamy texture that could be amazing with the pairing of a variety of food.

Most Popular Styles of Australian Sparkling Wines
Blanc de Blancs
Blanc de Blancs sparkling wines derive from Chardonnay grapes and are recognized by this crispness and delicate flavor, so light and elegant with hints of citrus and green apple. It's a great apéritif or accompanying wine to seafood.

Blanc de Noirs
A Blanc de Noirs wine is often richer and more robust than a Blanc de Blancs, and indeed can be produced from either Pinot Noir or a blend of Pinot Noir and Pinot Meunier. Such wines that offer rich flavors of red berries, toast, and a hint of spice complement poultry or charcuterie.

Rosé Sparkling Wine
Australia also produces great rosé sparkling wines. They can be produced either by blending red and white wine or by allowing brief contact of grape skins during the course of the fermentation process. These wines tend to be beautifully bright colored and very fruity, with strawberry and raspberry flavors accompanied by the scent of rose petals. This wine is excellent for a summer celebration or romantic dinner.

Prosecco
Whereas Prosecco is an Italian style per se, Australian winemakers have taken it up with great enthusiasm. Characterized as light, fresh, and fruit-forward, Australian Prosecco is a killer value for casual celebratory drunks. Perfect for sipping on its own or mixed into a Bellini cocktail, lively bubbles and flavors of pear, apple, and citrus will make it perfect.

Why Australian Sparkling Wine?
From crisp, celebratory styles to premium, sophisticated sparklers, sparkling Australian wines are highly versatile and have amazing qualities and innovative profiles that can fit every palate and occasion. Whether toast, cheer, or friendly drink, there's something Australian for everyone, from the elegance of a Tasmanian Blanc de Blanc to the fruity freshness of a Prosecco from the Yarra Valley.
