Sparkling/Chardonnay/Rosé Mixed Box (6)

+ 2015 Oparina Blanc de Blanc Methode Traditionelle

Winemaking: Handpicked, estate grown Padthaway Chardonnay grapes were pressed in Australia’s only Conquers press before being fermented in bottle using traditional French methods. Riddled and disgorged after 18 months, we are proud to present this premium sparkling for you to enjoy on special occasions (or just every day), served chilled with fruit, cheese or hors d’oeuvres, or as an accompaniment to a fine dining experience.

Tasting Notes: The Oparina Blanc de Blanc greets you with the fresh aromas of baking cashew brioche and almond biscotti. This wine proudly reveals the unmistakable grapefruit and peaches with cream of Padthaway Chardonnay. - Steve Brown, Bellwether Wines

+ 2016 Oparina Rosé

Winemaking: This dry Rosé is made from our estate grown shiraz grapes, handpicked from our Padthaway vineyard in 2016, fermented with natural yeast and stirred regularly on full lees until bottling. A wine to drink this summer, serve chilled with seafood or pasta.

Tasting Notes: A salmon pink colour with a perfumed nose of strawberries and cream, crisp and savoury palate. Delicious! - Sue Bell, Bellwether Wines

+ 2017 Oparina Chardonnay

Winemaking: Handpicked from our Padthaway vineyard in 2017, the fruit has been carefully handled using traditional handcrafted methods such as basket pressing. It then went through natural fermentation in French Oak, relying only on 100% natural acids to produce a beautifully balanced wine.

Tasting Notes: This wine has complex layers of texture and nuttiness, is beautifully balanced with 100% natural acids and demonstrates flavours of white nectarine. - Sue Bell, Bellwether Wines
