Clover Hill Vintage Riche 2016 | Tasmania
A cellar-door only release, lucky to have a handful in the USA! With a hint of bronze and yellow, representing the blend of both white and red grape varietals, this refined wine has developed a golden hue from nearly four years on tirage. In addition to its color, this time has also resulted in a delicate bead with a persistent mousse.

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
61% Chardonnay, 33% Pinot Noir, 6% Pinot Meunier
RS 17.9 g/L
