Region: Margaret River
Variety: Chenin Blanc
What's in the glass: “While most of the best sparklings across the country remain wedded to the conventional wisdom of chardonnay, pinot noir or both, a few winemakers are prepared to consider broader possibilities. Tim Shand is one of them. Here he uses estate-grown organic chenin blanc and delivers a wine of neatly lifted green apple and pear skin aromatics, with fine florals and soft suggestions of sourdough starter. There’s a fine pithiness to the palate, a gentle phenolic squeeze that rounds the wine off beautifully.” 94 points, Nick Ryan, The Australian, Top 100 Wines of 2025
