Spittoon: We Spit So You Can Swallow
But what you do get with the Griffith Park is great value. And bubbles. And more than often isn’t this enough? For not everyone cares how their bubbles get into the bottle.
“GRIFFITH PARK then is produced under a Transfer Method which differs from Method Champenoise as the secondary fermentation does not take place in the actual bottle sold. Under the transfer method the total contents of the bottles are decanted with their lees, under pressure, into a tank where the batch is checked, liquored, and filtered into brand new bottles, then corked and sealed with a hood.”
The two wines have similar composition – Chardonnay (75%) and Pinot Noir (16%). For the rosé a “A dash of Shiraz provides added berry fruit lift and vibrancy”.
Wine Tasting Note: Griffith Park Sparkling Rosé, NV, South East Australia.Price: £6.99 from Asda, Morrisons, selected Tesco [More: Adegga / Snooth]
Pale in colour, vivacious on the bubbles front, delicate in flavour. A mouthfilling fizz, of no great complexity but bubbly, flavoursome and fun. What do you want for £6.99? Fun is king!

There is something to be said for the exciting, effervescent quality of bubbles. They capture our attention from the beginnings of youth up into the ends of old age.
