19 Crimes Sparkling White

19 Crimes is an Australian brand known for its bold labelling, with wine sourced from South Eastern Australia. This sparkling white is built on Chardonnay and Pinot Noir, the classic pairing for a fresh sparkling style. It is made by the tank method, with the second fermentation in pressurised stainless steel, which keeps the fruit bright and primary and gives a soft, foamy mousse. The wine is finished dry and made for easy, everyday drinking rather than long cellaring.

The colour is pale straw with a fine, lively bead. Green apple, pear and lemon lead the nose, with white peach and a floral note behind, and the palate is fresh and dry with citrus peel and a clean, brisk finish. Serve well chilled at around 6 to 8 degrees in a flute or white wine glass, as an aperitif or with light salads, white fish and shellfish.
