Minchinbury

MINCHINBURY TAKES EVERYDAY OCCASIONS AND MAKES THEM THAT LITTLE BIT MORE SPECIAL; NOT ONLY DOES IT ADD SOME SPARKLE, IT MAKES THEM POP!

Minchinbury - an original sparkling story FOR OVER 100 YEARS, AUSTRALIANS have celebrated a life well lived with Minchinbury. With a history stretching over three centuries, Minchinbury has been an integral part of the Australian wine landscape and a key part of the celebratory moments of Australia. By the 1920s, Minchinbury had carved its name as Australia’s most famous sparkling wine.

With a renaissance of its winemaking and range, Minchinbury has now introduced its sparkling story to a whole new generation of sparkling wine lovers. A name synonymous with Australian sparkling wine, Minchinbury has been re-launched with a new look and a new range, featuring several new wines.

The new range includes the Minchinbury Superior Chardonnay Pinot Noir, Minchinbury Scarlet Sparkling Shiraz, Minchinbury Crisp Classic Brut, Minchinbury Blush Rosé Cuveé and Minchinbury Luscious Moscato.

The Minchinbury Superior Chardonnay Pinot Noir is a benchmark example of a classic Sparkling style, while the Crisp, Blush, Scarlet and Sweet Sparkling wines over deliver on flavour and sophistication. Created with sophistication and style in mind, Minchinbury is the ultimate accessory to celebrate any occasion

Today, under the guidance of Winemaker Tina Jarrett, Minchinbury is now introducing its sparkling story to a new generation of sparkling wine lovers. Following a developing interest and appreciation for wine, Tina was inspired to pursue her dream of becoming a winemaker and this allowed her to combine her three passions in life: lifestyle, science and wine. Joining her first wine cellar, Mount Witches Fall Winery in Mount Tamborine, Tina worked as both a cellar hand and in the cellar door where she gained a valuable insight into the production of wine.

Tina spent two years in Mount Witches Fall Winery before moving on to roles with Oyster Bay and Mud House in New Zealand. While across the Tasman she realised her ancestor was Reverend Samuel Marsden, the man responsible for planting New Zealand’s first vines, finalising her decision that a life in wine was always her destiny.

After returning to Australia Tina applied to complete a Bachelor of Applied Science at Charles Sturt University before taking on her current role in the Barossa Valley. Today Tina honours the Minchinbury name, delivering sparkling wines of sophistication and style to be enjoyed at every special occasion. Tina is most definitely making it POP! with Minchinbury. ❧
