The best part about these epic sparklings though? They’re high quality Australian bubbles delivering premium taste, without the Champagne price tag.
Taltarni Vineyards Marque Cuvée Brut NV
Talk about bang for your buck... there's a whole lot of quality for the price and a whole lot of fun to be had with this traditional method sparkling. Vivacious and vibrant, this is the kind of wine that wouldn't normally be taken overly seriously but Taltarni Vineyards simply can't help themselves. It's a compulsion of theirs to overdeliver and bring a sparkling wine that fits in perfectly at a party but brings a level of attention to detail that completely invalidates the price point. This is the perfect bubbly for an event or party and frankly we'd feel a little understocked if we didn't have a couple of these waiting in the rack at home - y'know, for emergencies.

Prosecco NV - BM Deal #54529
This bubbly is punching well above its weight. To see a prosecco in the Halliday Top 100 Wines is pretty much unheard of, factoring in 95pts, a 4.1 Vivino score and a price-point like this, we're very much in new territory. A game-changer. Celebrate being able to stock up whilst this one lasts.

Sparkling White 2020 - Black Market Deal #54735
Premium, traditional method Yarra Valley blanc de blancs for when you're feeling a bit fancy. 2020 in the Yarra birthed some breathtaking chardonnay. Pop that outstanding juice on lees for 45 months and you're left with a sparkling that exudes elegance without sacrificing flavour. A great example of patient winemaking at its very best.
