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.

A 100% pinot noir rosé from a 2021 base with 25% reserve from old hogsheads consisting of 2020 (6%), 2019 (9%), 2018 (8%) and 2016/2017 (3%); 15 months on tirage with two months under cork and a dosage of 5g/L. Pale salmon pink in the glass with a fine energetic bead and mousse. Aromas of raspberry, wild strawberry, grapefruit and pomegranate with underlying hints of crushed stone, fresh berry danish, a whiff of freshly sliced fennel, white flowers and sea spray. Graceful and vivid on the palate with a crystalline acid driveline, excellent tension and a clean, long, refreshing finish that shows great velocity and length of flavour.
