Product Description:
Cool-climate fruit lifted by fine, effortless bubbles. The 42 Degrees South Sparkling Rosé NV is crafted by Frogmore Creek in the Coal River Valley, one of Tasmania’s most acclaimed sparkling regions. The blend is led by Pinot Noir (90%), with small portions of Pinot Meunier and Chardonnay adding balance and texture. Sourced entirely from the Campania subregion in southern Tasmania, it reflects the island’s latitude — 42 degrees south — where long ripening and cool air produce fruit of natural freshness and clarity.
Made in the traditional method, this rosé combines the precision of Tasmanian sparkling winemaking with a delicate red-berry vibrancy. The deep salmon hue hints at a short maceration on Pinot skins, giving both colour and flavour detail. Ageing on lees introduces a soft, creamy texture beneath the bright strawberry and cherry fruit. The result is a sparkling rosé that feels clean, poised and quietly expressive. Shaped by the cool maritime light that defines the region.

Reviews & Accolades
“Winner of three Trophies at the Australian Sparkling Wine Show 2023.” — Australian Sparkling Wine Show
“A flavoursome sparkling style of bold, deep crimson hue. Lovely pink pepper and pomegranate complexity is underlined by candied dosage, jostling with zesty grapefruit tang. It’s unashamedly full and colourful, yet holds its tannin texture comfortably.” — James Halliday, 89 Points
