The Colonial Estate Explorateur Barossa Valley Sparkling Shiraz Nv

The vineyards that make up Explorateur are based in the northwestern Barossa Valley. This is a belt of land/terroir that runs from just to the northwest of Tanunda – Marananga, Greenock, Moppa, Ebenezer, and through to Stockwell, just north of Nuriootpa. Cropping levels are kept low to ensure fruit flavour is focus. This Shiraz is created from a blend of vintages, primary fermentation is in stainless steel vats followed by extended barrel fermentation on lees to build complexity and richness. The parcels were blended followed by secondary fermentation which gives the wine its sparkle.

Should be drinking well now and over the next 6 or so years.

Domaine Andre Delorme Blanc de Blanc Sparkling Nv 

In 1942 Andre Delorme founded his wine company in Rully, and started his sparkling wine business. From the beginning, its core customers were private individuals and high-quality gourmet restaurants. A few years later, his son Jean-François joined him and diversified the Maison‘s business by planting new vines and producing prestigious appellations from the Côte Chalonnaise: Rully, Mercurey, Givry, etc. The Maison’s reputation kept on growing, in France as well as abroad.

In 2005 Eric Piffaut, another resident of Rully and a director of the VEUVE AMBAL family company, took over the Maison. The rise in quality reaches a new milestone and the Maison is now recognised as the specialist of Côte Chalonnaise wines and Crémants de Bourgogne.
