RiverBank Estate Field Blend NV Bubbles

Tasting Notes

Colour: Pale straw with a lively bead and fine mousse.

Aromatics: Bright and youthful aromatics of lemon zest, nectarine, and white flowers, with a whisper of brioche from the aged component.

Palate: A light and vibrant palate, featuring flavours of citrus peel, peach, and green apple, with soft bubbles and a clean, lifted finish. A touch of sweetness from dosage rounds it out, making it immediately drinkable and refreshing.

Winemaker’s Note

“This is a sparkling wine made for enjoyment. The focus is on freshness, purity of fruit, and the kind of balance that makes you come back for a second glass. A small portion of older base wine adds just enough complexity to elevate it beyond your average bubble.”

Sustainability & Natural Practices

Riverbank Estate works with a minimal intervention approach in the winery and strives for sustainable vineyard management, letting the natural characteristics of the Swan District fruit shine through in every bottle. Each component is harvested and fermented separately, allowing for detailed blending and consistency year after year.

Serving Tips

• Serving Temp: Best served well-chilled at 6–8°C for optimal refreshment.

• Glassware: Use a white wine glass instead of the traditional flute.

• Occasion: Perfect for brunch, parties, picnics, or when you just need a reason to celebrate.

FAQ – Sparkling Terms Explained

Q: What is a non-vintage (NV) sparkling wine?
A: NV means the wine is made from a blend of base wines from multiple years. This ensures a consistent style each year, and often includes older material to add depth and character.

Q: What does “dosage” mean?
A: Dosage is a small amount of sugar added after secondary fermentation to balance acidity. In this wine, it adds roundness and softness without making it sweet.

Q: Can this be aged?
A: It’s made to be enjoyed young and fresh. Drink it now to capture its bright, lively style.

I have been buying my wines from Kirk for about two years now and I have never had a bad experience or wine. I love the fact that the wines are all West Australian, so supporting local and lower carbon footprint. He delivers when it’s convenient for me and brings the wine to my door.  Wines are all good quality and well priced, especially the cleanskins. Highly recommended

I've been ordering from Partners in Wine for three years now - from the UK for my sister living in Perth. Each time they've been bang on with my order including  on time delivery. Kirk has also helped me select my wines from an extensive list.  A very pleasant and friendly company to deal with. I would highly recommend them.
