The Kreglinger Tasmania Sparkling Vintage Brut 2018 is a refined and elegant sparkling wine that showcases the best of Tasmania’s Pipers Brook district. Sourced from a single vineyard specifically established for sparkling wine production, this wine is a perfect example of the region’s unique terroir. The vineyard is planted with high-density Pinot Noir and Chardonnay vines, selected for their potential to produce exceptional sparkling wine. The vineyard’s Ferrosol (volcanic) soils, known for their excellent water retention, along with the Vertical Shoot Positioned (VSP) trellises, provide ideal conditions for creating vibrant, high-quality fruit.

Hand harvested in the cool morning hours, the fruit was whole-bunch pressed to extract only the most delicate juice. The wine was then cool fermented in barrel, followed by malolactic fermentation and battonage to create exceptional texture and creaminess. This wine was crafted with meticulous care and underwent secondary fermentation in bottle, where it was aged for over 4 years to develop its complexity and richness.
