Ninth Island NV
A blend of Chardonnay, Pinot Noir and Pinot Meunier, the fruit for Ninth Island NV is taken from the Pipers River area of Tasmania. The wine is left for 6-8 months on lees before spending another 24 months in the bottle.
The style of this sparkling wine is fresh, fruity and ready to go. This is definitely not a sparkler that will reward you for careful cellaring it is one to buy (cold ideally!) and then take on a picnic or to a party. Ninth Island is rich and ripe with bags of fruit and a really accessible style but if you're looking for Tasmania's signature style and finesse then I would pick another bottle from my 100 Aussie sparkling wines to try.
