2021 JOY Sparkling

The 2021 ‘JOY’ Sparkling delivers precise, elegant power with silky, fine beading that dances on the palate, culminating in a refined mineral finish that leaves a lasting impression of sophistication and balance.

This Méthode Champenoise sparkling is composed of Pinot Noir and Chardonnay, sourced from premium vineyards on the East Coast of Tasmania. The delicate fruit was hand-picked and whole-bunch pressed with free-run juice transferred to a combination of French oak barrels and stainless-steel tanks.

Following wild fermentation in barrels and selected yeast strains in tanks, each parcel was aged separately on light lees for six months to develop richness and complexity. After secondary fermentation, the wine spent an additional 48 months on its yeast lees, in-bottle, before final disgorging.

The result is an exceptional sparkling wine with captivating aromas of red apple and citrus blossom, layered with nutty roasted cashew undertones.

Bird in Hand invites connoisseurs and wine lovers to experience this celebratory wine, which captures the essence of elegance, craftsmanship and luxury.
