Winery Tasting Notes

Appearance

Pale straw with green reflections. Fine, persistent bead forming a delicate mousse typical of cool-climate Tasmanian sparkling.

Nose

Fresh and lifted with citrus (lemon zest, grapefruit) and green apple, layered with brioche, toasted nuts, and subtle yeast complexity. A light hint of wild strawberry adds nuance.

Palate

Crisp and precise on entry, showing lemon, red apple, and stone fruit, supported by secondary notes of pastry, cashew, and light toast from lees ageing. The fruit is clean and pure, reflecting the cool Coal River Valley profile.

Texture & Structure

Light to medium-bodied with a fine, creamy mousse. Bright natural acidity drives freshness and length, while lees influence adds roundness and subtle richness. Dry style (low residual sugar) keeps the wine tight and focused.

Finish

Clean, dry, and persistent with lingering citrus, nutty complexity, and a mineral edge.

Winery Profile

Frogmore Creek is a Pacific Rim joint venture, the owners being Tony Scherer of Tasmania and Jack Kidwiler of California. The business has grown very substantially by first establishing its own organically managed vineyard, and thereafter by a series of acquisitions. First was the purchase of the Hood/Wellington Wines business previously owned by Andrew Hood; next was the purchase of the large Roslyn Vineyard near Campania; and finally (in October 2010) the acquisition of Meadowbank Estate, where the cellar door is now located.
