Clover Hill is one of Australia’s principal Chardonnay, Pinot Noir and Pinot Meunier cuvées. In 1986, on the site of an old dairy farm in North-East Tas-mania, the magnificent Clover Hill Vineyard was established to produce su-perb méthode traditionnelle sparkling wine, rivalling the great Champagne houses of France. Since its debut vintage in 1991, Clover Hill has gained a reputation for its uncompromising quality, its elegance and finesse, and distinguished style.

The Clover Hill Tasmanian Cuvée NV is made from grapes sourced from Clo-ver Hill’s vineyards in Tasmania. Expressing the freshness and vibrancy for which the apple isle is renowned, this rosé offers elegance and refinement. The winemakers used classic techniques, such as delicate grape handling, followed by cool temperature alcoholic fermentation, and then a partial malolactic fermentation to soften the natural acidity of the grapes. It is aged at least 2 years on lees. 53% Chardonny, 42% Pinot Noir, 5% Pinot Meunier.
