Daosa, Natural Reserve NV - 95pts
"Xavier Bizot was born with bubbles in the blood. A member of the Bollinger family, it was inevitable he would be making fizz some day, even if he had to come all the way to the cool Piccadilly Valley in the Adelaide Hills to do it. This is really classy stuff, a wine of fine detail and toasty complexity, restrained power and exquisitely fresh acidity."
Idee Fixe, Premiere Brut NV - 95pts
"An exciting project from the ownership of Vasse Felix, a stand alone sparkling house exploring with serious dedication the possibilities of great Margaret River chardonnay in fizzy form. It’s a wine of vibrancy and freshness, grapefruit, green apple and acacia to the fore, with a punch of powerful fruit at its core and fine freshness to the finish."
