The retinue of rich soils and microclimates along the length and breadth of the Tamar and Coal Rivers yield superlative Pinot Noir and Chardonnay grapes. The Tigress beams with lifted, aromatic fresh peach and nectarine characters, a golden, buttery mousse and generous structure with vibrant citrus at the finish. The finest parcels of fruit have been brought together, treated to Methode Traditionelle, embellished by a small amount of reserve wine and finished with a tirage of liqueur doseage to achieve a well defined sparkling wine with vigour and panache.
Sparkling wine made from grapes grown to the finest of Tasmania's cool climate vineyards never fail to impress the most discerning palate with their finesse, luxurious mineral complexity and persistence of flavour. The wines exhibit a steely leanness, which is finely balanced by intensity of fruit flavour. Bay of Fires represent the best effort by one of Australia's most accomplished sparkling winemaking teams and are at the forefront of quality Australian viticulture. Each step throughout the winemaking process is judiciously controlled to preserve the pristine fruit quality and build complexity. Extended maturation on yeast lees and the use of aged reserve wines contributes additional dimension and depth.
TASTING NOTES
Light straw colour with a green gold hue and creamy mousse. Ample bouquets greet the nose, citrus peel, meadow fruit and savoury notes. Flavours of glace fruits and cherry brandy, an integrated, complex palate exhibiting flavours of biscuit and honey, impressions of lanolin and yoghurt over a fine structure and good persistence, making Tigress an excellent accompaniement to hors d'oeuvres and the freshest seafood.

More About Bay of Fires Winery
Bay of Fires was born of a desire to make cool climate wines of classical structure, combining fruit intensity with refinement, complexity and persistence of flavour
The group winemaking team at Hardys identified, back in 1994, the regions they believed would make cool climate wines of classical structure, combining fruit intensity with refinement, complexity and persistence of flavour - the ultimate expression and grape and region. Tasmania's potential for the production of classic, cool climate grape varieties was clearly evident. Their vision has come to fruition with the success of Bay of Fires, Tigress and Arras.
