NV Daosa Natural Reserve

Crafted from the high-altitude slopes of the Piccadilly Valley, this seventh release of DAOSA Natural Réserve is a great example of Australian méthode traditionnelle sparkling.

A blend of Pinot Noir (57%), Chardonnay (35%) and Pinot Meunier (8%), this wine is sourced from vineyards sitting at over 500m elevation, planted in the 1980s and ’90s, and farmed to the same high standards as Terre à Terre’s acclaimed Crayères Vineyard.

Delicate and precise, this release showcases subtle wild strawberry and red fruit perfume from Pinot Noir, with expressive Chardonnay driving the mid-palate. The fine bead, creamy texture, and savoury undertones come courtesy of 15% reserve wines and extended ageing on lees giving a beautifully balanced fizz that’s fresh, complex and seriously elegant.

If you’re seeking Australian sparkling with authenticity and Champagne-like depth, DAOSA delivers in spades.
