French bubbly specials
Oh la la, French bubbles under $30
Not all that sparkles in France is Champagne. Both the Loire and Burgundy make fine quality bubbles with grapes of their regions. In the Loire that’s mostly chenin blanc; in Burgundy they also use the traditional grapes of Champagne – pinot noir and chardonnay.Louis Bouillot’s Perle de Vigne is a Cremant de Bourgogne made from 80% pinot and 20% chardonnay sourced from all over Burgundy. It is soft and luscious but with delicacy rather than being too broad. Notes of honey, almond and spicy ginger and a perfectly balanced finish that’s not too acid. Great value by any measure.
NV Louis Bouillot Perle de Vigne $25.00 (WAS $27.99)

Pinot Shop specials
Our best value pinot ever
A succession of good vintages in Tasmania and reasonable crop levels (apart from the folk zapped by frosts in 2006) has seen some great value pinots filtering through.
2007 Pepik Pinot at only $18.99 and 2006 Benchmark Pinot $21.99 are two and then there’s this little beauty, 2007 Clarence Plains Pinot, at our very special Pinot Shop price of $17.99. Made by Julian Alcorso it is richly fruity, soft and rounded, not an awkward note anywhere – gulpable pinot at its best.

SORRY, JUST SOLD OUT but keep watch for the arrival of ‘parent’ wine 2007 Clarence House Estate.

Pinot Shop is located in Launceston, Tasmania, Australia at 135 Paterson Street down at the river end near Cataract Gorge, Stillwater Restaurant and The Mill Providore. We specialise in the best of premium pinot noir as grown so beautifully in the cool climes of Tasmania, New Zealand and southern parts of the big Australian continent. Our love for pinot extends to its sibling styles pinot gris and grigio and fizzy cousins sparkling wine and Champagne, even when they don’t contain pinot noir.
That’s not to say we’ve become too exclusive - we also stock an interesting range of delicious wines for those (rare) times when you’re not drinking pinot…
