Clover Hill 2004 Brut Sparkling (Tasmania)
- $32
A zippy, energized sparkler, with lots of grilled brioche, melon and apple notes that linger nicely on the finish. Has solid length and definition along with a fine mousse. A winner all round. Drink now or hold several years for more complexity.

Clover Hill 2003 Brut Sparkling (Tasmania)
- $32
In a recent lineup of Australian sparklers, Clover Hill’s 2003 Brut was a standout, showing convincing toasty, autolytic notes layered over crisp apple and citrus flavors. It’s medium-bodied and slightly creamy in texture, with a long, crisp finish.

Clover Hill 2001 Brut Sparkling (Tasmania)
- $30
From Taltarni’s Tasmanian outpost, this is a plump, medium-bodied sparkler with ample complexity. Smoke, citrus and eggy, brioche notes mark the nose, while the palate adds crisp appley flavors. Finishes long, picking up hints of grapefruit as well.

Clover Hill 2000 Brut Sparkling (Tasmania)
- $30
Dust, apple, mushroom and toast aromas start things off, and reveal some stone fruit and talc on the palate. Its texture—moussey and frothy, rather than dry and crisp—reminds me of Cremant or Prosecco. 53% Chardonnay, 35% Pinot Noir, 12% Pinot Meunier. Imported by Clos Du Val Wine.

Clover Hill 1998 Brut Sparkling (Tasmania)
- $29
Yellow peach fruit has underlying cured-meat flavors, which are hinted at on the nose. Mouthfeel is very foamy—it feels as though the wine dissolves when it hits your tongue. I like a little more substance in sparklers, but fans of superdelicate wines may feel differently.
