A multi vintage cuvee of Chardonnay, Pinot Noir and Meunier, assembled exclusively from parcels picked off Clover Hill's estate vineyards at Pipers Brook. Fermented in it's own bottle and aged on yeast lees for at least two years, infusing the intensity of an extravagant elevage while capturing the vivacity of Pipers River fruit, a masterful construct of remarkable structure and finesse. Subtly complex, Cuvee Tasmania is characterised by rich, creamy layers of Chardonnay opulence, integrating beautifully with the cherry sherbet chic of Pinot Noir.
Since inaugural vintage, Clover Hill has been crafted to full Methode traditionnelle, a highly specialised process which demands considerable patience and expertise. Grapes are gently whole bunch pressed and fermented in separate batches, followed by a preliminary bottling with active yeasts and a small amount of sugar (tirage). Clover Hill is then matured on lees while being treated to a course of bottle riddling, gradually rotated until the lees eventually settle in the neck of the bottle. The neck is then frozen and degorged before a dosage of liqueur d'expedition and reserve wines aged in French oak foudres to define the excellence and style which is Clover Hill. Alcohol 12.5%
TASTING NOTES
Soft, pale lemon colour, a lively, persistent bead and gentle, creamy mousse. Attractive, zesty lemon and citrus nose complemented by ripe melon and white peach characters. The palate displays a long acid line and soft, aged almond kernel over bread crust flavours which create fullness. An elegant sparkling exhibiting all the hallmarks of of a grand Tasmanian cuvee, resolving on a finish of ripe fruit flavours and fresh, crisp acid.

About Clover Hill Wines
Clover Hill is one of Australia's principal Chardonnay, Pinot Noir and Pinot Meunier Cuvees
Founded by the Goelet family on the site of a former dairy farm in northeast Tasmania, Clover Hill was established in 1986 after an exhaustive search for an ideal site for the sole purpose of producing world class sparkling wine to rival that of the Champagne region. The site, with its rich soil, natural sloping amphitheatre and maritime climate, was deemed to be the perfect location to produce superb Methode Traditionnelle sparkling wine, rivaling the great Champagne Houses of France. The 66 hectare Pipers River property near Lebrina overlooks Bass Straight and capitalises on its natural assets. The rich land, which was a mosaic of undulating hills and golden clover, is now also lined with picturesque vines dotted with a smattering of golden clover. Clover Hill»
