$2499each $299DOZEN EACH DOZEN The Schild Estate vineyards sprout Shiraz grown to vines planted by the earliest Barossa settlers.

The Segura Viudas wineworks at Penedes date back to the 11th century. An ancient watchtower of diverse architectural styles, Gothic, Visigothic and Romanesque, it was converted circa 13th century into a stately manor for the purpose of managing local agriculture and viticulture. At the end of the 19th century, the region became self aware of it's potential and applied Methode champenoise to the local grape varieties. Aria Brut Nature is a mature wine with heady mousse, beguilling aromas and satisfyingly, cleansing finish.

$2999each $359DOZEN EACH DOZEN From it's earliest days, the remarkable appeal of Segura Viudas drove an unprecedented demand that exhausted the limited production of the ancient tower at Penedes. Today, Aria Brut Nature is enjoyed everywhere around the globe. An assemblage of Macabeo, Xarelo-lo and Parellada grapes, inoculated to unique strains of yeast which have developed at the Segura Viudas cellars over the centuries.

$6499each $779DOZEN EACH DOZEN Two thirds Macabeo, the balance Parellada, sourced from the Penedes D.O, just south of Barcelona. Outstanding wines have been made here since the ancient Phoenicians, Greeks and Romans. Other notable Penedes producers include Freixenet, Rene Barbier and Torres. Towards the end of the nineteenth century, the region became aware of the potential of it's indigenous varietal grapes and unique wines, the first steps were taken in the application of Methode Champenoise and Segura Viudas produced its first sparklers. Primary fermentations in tank capture and retain distinct varietal fruit characters, followed by extended maturation in bottle for five years.

A delicate stream of very fine bubbles with persistence. Fruity, crisp lemon lime scented nose, the high percentage of Macabeo works to retain the youthful personality of this generous wine during the long ageing process. Development in bottle brings solid structure, creamy texture and harmonious acidity. Potent aromas vary from shortbread to strawberry, peaches to almond and marzipan. A long and elegant palate, a long slightly yeasty finish.

The dedicated vignerons at Seppeltsfield are very fond of a few choice parcels which grow an intensely flavoured Moscato. This is the vineyard block they call upon to fashion a very favourite drink, the elixir that revitalizes and refreshes at the end of a hard day's work. Fully ripe grapes, bursting with a concentration of juicy flavours are vinified to retain a toothsome natural sweetness. The sybarites of Seppeltsfield are people of passion, they are partisans of the rich moreish styles and indulge in the making of a Moscato that they themselves enjoy.
