Reviews:
Australian House and Garden Magazine, December 2015
“With nuances of baked apple, pastry, cashew and brioche, this bubbly is unashamedly sweet and decadent. Serve on its own as dessert or with some mild cheese, fresh fruit or alongside vanilla bean panna cotta.” Toni Paterson

Hobart Mercury, 7 February 2015
“Modelled on the doux style of French Champagne, this is a generous and ripe, tropical-fruited style with added nutty, baked brioche complexity on a softly rounded palate that finishes long and refreshingly crisp.” Graeme Phillips

Geelong Advertiser, 13 November 2014
“Ripe aromas of tropical fruits along with brioche and vanilla. The rich, sweet tropical fruit flavours are creamy and there’s also some ripe apricot. A reserve wine and sugar dosage liqueur was generously added at disgorging, making for an opulent sparkling with a high residual sugar content. For those who like their bubbles sweet and rich.” (90 points) Brett Smith
