About the wine
A tantalising Tassie tickle for your tongue!
-
100% Tamar Valley. The fruit is pristine - there was a lot of vineyard sampling to get the pick date right! Pressed in whole bunches an hour or two after harvest, there was no need to add sulphur. But fermenting a wine twice (to get bubbles) is nerve-wracking. The Feldheims sang to the yeast culture for a week to make sure it was growing strongly!
-
The delicious Vintage 2020 smells of rose Turkish delight upon layers of nutty brioche bun. The richness and depth of strawberry and nougat leads to a crispness and succulent acidity that refreshes and coaxes a smile with each sip.
-
Its hard to find a great Tasmanian-made sparkling with 100% pure Tassie fruit like this for less than $30. Actually its unheard of. Each bottle has been cradled and hand-disgorged by David and Cynthia. Hard work but so rewarding!
Best before
Sparkling wine will age beautifully on its cork bringing more complexity to the wine and also savouriness. However, sparkling wine is a wine that should be enjoyed in the moment and if that moment is NOW then ageing is secondary.!
Serving advice
Always serve chilled and in nice lean glasses so that the bubbles are free to stream. Sometimes with sparklings dirty glassware can inhibit a good flow of bubbles, and also change the mouthfeel of the wine. Open it with friends, sunsets, good food, and for celebration , commiseration or just for fun!!
Food match
we love drinking sparkling wine at the start of an evening with gathered friends and family, it really sets the scene for a good night and for the celebration of just being. We often have it with a selection of great hard and soft cheeses locally made and the sparkling blanc de Noir goes fabulously with charcuterie and seafood.

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.
