Josef Chromy Brut Finesse 2019, Josef Chromy, Northern Tasmania. This prestige vintage sparkling (70% Pinot Noir, 30% Chardonnay) from the Relbia estate vineyard delivers elegant aromas of mineral sea spray, oyster shell, poached pear and quince, laced with fresh sourdough, brioche and toasted pine nuts from 42 months tirage ageing.

The palate surges with focused savoury richness, distinct saline brininess, fine tension and chalky texture, all balanced by refreshing juicy citrus that drives a long, precise finish of exceptional finesse and complexity. Crack this Tasmanian masterpiece with white anchovies, prosciutto, fried chicken, grilled seafood or aged Comté – it’s ranked #1 sparkling by The Real Review and will vanish from cellars quick-smart.​
