Light to Medium Bodied Sparkling Wine: Fine Bubbles With Freshness

Popular Light to Medium Bodied Sparkling Styles

The classic Chardonnay and Pinot Noir blend carries most of the range, in Champagne itself and in Australian traditional method sparkling from the Adelaide Hills, Tasmania and the Yarra Valley.

Glera, the grape behind Prosecco, brings a lighter and more floral style again. Australia and France supply nearly all of the range, with a little from Italy and England.

How to Serve

Serve at 6 to 8 degrees in a tulip glass rather than a flute, which gives the aroma room to open. Chill in an ice bucket for twenty minutes rather than the freezer.

Food Pairing

Oysters, smoked salmon, sushi, canapés and soft cheeses are the natural partners. The acidity cuts through salt and fat, which is why these styles work before a meal as readily as during one.

Why Body Matters in Sparkling Wine

It decides whether the wine works before dinner or during it. Lighter styles cut through salt and fat as an aperitif; the fuller end, with more lees ageing behind it, can carry a first course on its own.

Compare against light bodied sparkling wine for the crispest end of the range, or the wider sparkling wine collection for every style at once.
