NV Bay of Fires 'Tasmanian Cuvee' Brut $33
From Ed Carr, Constellation's master blender, comes this fine, intense bubbly with bready yeasty characters, soft creamy texture and zesty, tangy acidity.
NV Brown Brothers Pinot Noir Chardonnay Pinot Meunier $22
Winner of the trophy as best bubbly at 2009 National Wine Show against pricier opposition: fresh, clean, lively and bold, intense and vibrant, fairly tingles on the tongue. Value.
2005 Chandon Tasmanian Cuvee $39.95
From the Yarra Valley-based sparkling wine specialist, here is an intensely yeasty bubbly that is powerful and full-flavoured with bracing natural acidity.
2006 Croser $35
From Petaluma and the Adelaide Hills comes this well-established Aussie bubbly. In 2006, it's delicate and subtle with some yeasty characters, an attractive creamy mouthfeel and a soft, gentle finish.
2004 Houghton 'Wisdom' Chardonnay Pinot Noir $32
A Pemberton sparkling wine that is inevitably WA's best bubbly: soft, round and creamy with complex bready, yeasty flavours; power with finesse.
