little BOTTLER Exclusive
Tyrrell's Fifth Generation
Premium Brut
Medium straw in colour with a fine continuous bead. The nose has lifted fruit characters with some slight 'toastiness'. This characteristic shows the benefits of blending both aged and young wines to give this consistent style. The palate is soft and full flavoured with a good 'mousse'.
An ideal aperitif and will compliment hors d’oeuvres, pate, eggs, vegetables, fish and smoked small goods.
Tasting Notes
Tasting Notes > Wines > Seaview Sparkling
A household name in Australia respected for its champagne-like style of sparkling wines.
Seaview's origins date back to the 1850s when George Manning established 'Hope Farm' in McLaren Vale. The winery was renamed Seaview in 1951 by its new owners, Edwards and Chaffey.
The fruit for the wines comes from many regions in South Eastern Australia. One of the first Australian winemakers to use the authentic French technique of methode champenoise, Seaview today exclusively makes sparkling wines. The range includes vintage and non-vintage wines and covers the entire spectrum of celebratory occasions.
Seaview is sold in Australia, UK, Canada, NZ and Ireland. Small quantities are also sold in select European countries.
Seaview Brut A darker straw yellow in colour with a copper hue, this wine had candy fruit and strawberry-topping characters with notes of mushroom, baked apple and pencil shavings. Mushroom/earthy and toasty flavours showed on the palate with a fair acid structure but not much intensity. |
Seaview Brut De Brut Golden straw in colour with a fine bead, this wine had a developed, honeyed, toasty/nutty yeast character over ripe apple aromas. There was a creamy, toadty lees influence on the palate of red apples, finishing crisp, dry and clean. |
Seaview Grande Cuvee Mid-yellow in colour with copper tints, this wine had a fine bead. The nose had intense classic aromas of toasty/butter and honey nougat. The palate was more restrained than the nose, 'peaches-and-cream' and honey notes, on the slightly sweeter side, simple and fruity. An interesting wine of good value. |
