One of the world’s favourite wines has welcomed another member to its multi-award winning family: the Nottage Hill Sparkling Pinot Noir Chardonnay.

Crafted from grapes specially sourced from the select vineyards of South Eastern Australia, our new ‘baby’ is bottle fermented to provide the complexity and character you’ve come to expect from this iconic name and equally iconic style.

Amidst the fine bubbles is a bouquet that subtly combines the stone fruit and lychee nuances of the Pinot Noir with the Chardonnay’s hints at toast and mushrooms. Then it hits the lips with the rich, flavoursome and elegant strawberry cream characters of this classic, sparkling combination.

Enjoy Nottage Hill Sparkling Pinot Noir Chardonnay as an aperitif, as an accompaniment to any fresh seafood or simply as a celebration of the good life. Cheers!

Our award winning sparkling wines are sourced from a number of premium wine growing regions within Australia and none is more outstanding than Tumbarumba.

In the shadows of the Australian Alps, one of the nation’s youngest wine regions is emerging with panache. Tumbarumba is definitely alpine in nature with elevations starting at around 500m above sea level.

Naturally, it lends itself to cool climate Pinot Noir and Chardonnay grapes, which it is producing in premium quantity parcels – a feature not lost on our winemakers who confidentally use Tumbarumba fruit in our most esteemed wines – Hardys Sir James and Eileen Hardy Chardonnay.

Ever tried a cabernet with egg, or chardonnay with vegemite? If so, you’ve probably discovered a classic food and wine clash.

When it comes to tricky dishes – eg those that regularly clash with wine such as eggs and vegemite, chilli, artichokes and spinach – sparkling is the wine to reach for. Of all the wines around, it‘s the most flexible style when it comes to food matching and Nottage Hill Sparkling Pinot Noir Chardonnay illustrates this fact perfectly. Probably the reason that sparkling wine is so good with such foods – and not just any sparkling wine but sparkling that has had its second fermentation in the bottle is that any clash is overpowered by the combination of bubbles and the extra long flavour.  When you are looking for the one wine to drink with a variety of dishes – out to eat with a group of friends for example, and looking for one bottle to share – check out the Nottage Hill.

What other wine could possibly take you through from breakfast through to dessert?
