About the wine
You'll want to find reasons to celebrate
-
Tasmania is fast becoming one of the most widely recognised regions for producing super premium sparkling wine - outside of Champagne!
-
This 100% Pinot Noir Rose is a richer, fuller style of sparkling, with ravishing hints of wild strawberry and Turkish delight. Lifted sweet floral aromas of magnolia and honeysuckle will have this fast becoming your go-to celebratory fizz!
-
A Tasmanian Sparkling Rosè that has 18 months yeast lees maturation would generally retail for $40 and upwards. So, this really is super value to Angels.
Best before
Cork age is fine for a sparkling if you want more complexity. Cork age can give more mushroom aromatics and spice to the wine. We have aged it for you in bottle now ( did I mention this has been on yeast lees for more than two years now! Yippee!) so it will not gain more autolytic characters as the yeast hulls have been removed.
Sparkling prefers to be consumed chilled and kept chilled. Don't put it into a glass the size of a bucket as it will cool down quickly. If you enjoy sparkling wine then invest in the smaller sparkling glasses which retain aromas and also the temperature as there is less in it.
Serving advice
Always serve chilled and don't put into huge glasses. Pour a small amount into a glass and then refill from the fridge or a cooler so that the wine does not warm up in the glass. For actual opening, unwind the muselet (the wire) but do not take it off the bottle. Use the wire as a gripping mechanism so that you can turn the bottle to loosen the cork, then it comes off nicely and you won't end up loosing wine if it gushes!!
Sparkling is a lovely wine to share with friends and family, for celebrations and commiserations.
Food match
As a Rosè, we like to have this wine with chicken liver Pâté or a trout rillet, and usually enjoy it with a locally made one from a well known farmhouse. The extra finesse from skin contact and the 25mls of Pinot Noir allow this sparkling to be paired with richer foods and thus you see the great benefits of the acid cleansing the pallet!

Wine profile
Meet the winemaker - Cynthea & David Feldheim
This canny couple from the Tamar Valley has captivated Angels with their Gypsy Caravan offerings of tiny volume, hand-made deliciousness. The name reflects freedom, the ‘wild’ way the wines are made and the close relationship they have with this pristine place.
Cynthea has been making wine magic for 23 years. Bitten by the wine bug when her parents moved from San Francisco to Tassie and planted their own vineyard, she ended up studying winemaking and wine marketing. Then the world became her vinous oyster!
It’s hard to find great Tasmanian wines by little family winemakers like these outside of cellar doors and fancy restaurants. The Feldheim's exclusive access to parcels of lovingly tended fruit from mature vines means their Tamar Valley tipples are the next level in quality and value. Angel support has been so powerful, they’ve been able to take over the family vineyard - the first Tasmanian cellar door - and return it to its former glory.
