Howard Vineyard Sparkling Blanc de Blancs 2025 from the Adelaide Hills slips out of the bottle with bright, nervy cool‑climate energy, turning a simple pour into a proper celebration‑ready fizz.

The wine shows pale lemon with a vivid bead and lifts aromas of lemon zest, key lime and stone fruit with a very subtle, creamy‑toast edge from partial malolactic fermentation and time on lees. On the palate it stays light and dry, focused on lemon rind and lively stone‑fruit zing, with tensile acidity and a whisper of creaminess on the finish that keeps it refreshing rather than thin.​

Howard Vineyard Sparkling Blanc de Blancs 2025 is tailor‑made to drink with friends and good food: think oysters, salt‑and‑pepper calamari, simple goat‑cheese canapés or a light seafood plate. Its Chardonnay‑driven lean line and bright citrus make it a perfect aperitif or easy‑going lunchtime sparkle.
