About Clover Hill
Established in the 1980s, Clover Hill is one of Australia’s very few premium sparkling houses solely producing sparkling wines in the traditional method. Northeast sites, close to Bass Strait, are subject to strong maritime influences. Hillside slopes in the Tamar Valley offer vines some protection from prevailing westerly winds, promoting warm, settled and relatively dry growing conditions.
Production note
76% Pinot Meunier, 18% Pinot Noir, 6% Chardonnay. A focus on red varietals marks a point of difference from Clover Hill’s typical Chardonnay-dominant sparklings. Reserve wines are used - those on yeast lees in barrel, bottle combined with reserves in oak, small oak solera, and foudre. 4.8g/L RS, 12% abv.
