Established in the mid-1980s, Delamere became a leading producer of table wines and a premium fruit source for many Tasmanian sparkling programs. In 2008, Fran and Shane, both young winemakers, purchased the property with the sole intention of making Delamere one of Tasmania's premium sparkling houses unlike any other in Australia- a single vineyard, single site sparkling house.

Chardonnay sourced from Delamere’s oldest blocks. Pale straw with a fine, persistent bead and notes of baked apple, white peach, apple turnover, soft spice and stone. Biscuity tones wash in on a palate that shows a crystalline-acid focus, invigorating cadence and autolytic complexity. Fading out slowly with pure apple fruit, pastry notes and a wonderful singular acid line.
