Pirie are devoted to the artisanal élevage of fine Tasmanian Sparkling. Parcels of Chardonnay, Pinot Noir and Meunier are assembled around a reserve of aged vintages, the objective being to produce a consistent, full flavoured wine. Aromatically bready, toasty nots unravel over creamy autolysis characters from ageing on sedimentery yeast lees, all balanced by the crispness of apple and tangy citrus curd. True Method traditionelle in the fashion of the old world's most illustrious estates, followed by a minimum of eighteen months on lees before disgorging.

About Pirie Winery
Pirie Tasmania is the latest evolution of one man's belief that Tasmania can be one of the truly great wine regions of the world
The Tamar Valley is situated in the north of Tasmania at a latitude of around 41-42° south. Approximately the same length as the Cote d'Or in Burgundy (90km) and with a similar cool, humid climate, vineyards occupy favoured N/NE facing sites predominantly along the west bank of the river. Chardonnay, Riesling, Sauvignon Blanc, Pinot Gris and Gewurztraminer are all grown here, producing fresh, extremely elegant whites. But for red wines, Pinot Noir is king. From the bright cherry and raspberry scented wines from Kayena in the Lower Tamar, to the heady truffle and black cherry aromas from the Upper Tamar vineyards at Relbia and White Hills, the variety of styles from this small region prove that the French do not have a monopoly on terroir.
