The Fogarty Group has established Lowestoft as a serious player in Tasmanian still wines and its first foray into the sparkling world meets the same aspiration, not least thanks to the consulting of Natalie Fryar. This is an intricately assembled blend that achieves just the right balance between clean, cool, zesty fruit and the nutty, patisserie allure of lees age. The red apples and strawberries of pinot noir are well melded with the lemon zest of chardonnay.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003e[points rating=\"91\" title=\"Halliday Wine Companion 2023\"]\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Lowestoft","offers":[{"title":"Default","offer_id":39915909742662,"sku":"3311SPKNVD67","price":65.0,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/1139\/8708\/products\/LOW_Sparkling_ReserveBrut.jpg?v=1651823348","url":"https:\/\/fogartyhall.wine\/products\/lowestoft-nv-reserve-brut","provider":"Fogarty Hall Wine","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
