Seppelt The Drives Chardonnay Pinot Noir Sparkling NV is an elegant Victorian sparkling wine named after the labyrinth of excavated tunnels stretching beneath the Seppelt Winery, where generations of wines have slowly matured since 1868. Pale straw with a generous mousse; strawberries and cream on the nose with a hint of brown sugar and lime; crisp and elegant yet creamy on the palate, with citrus, rock melon, and warm butter toast. Refreshing fruit characters supported by subtle yeast complexity and bright acidity.
Appearance
Pale straw with a generous, persistent mousse — the fresh, inviting colour of an elegant Chardonnay and Pinot Noir sparkling wine from selected Victorian vineyards, with the delicate clarity and fine bead that careful winemaking and subtle yeast characters deliver.
Aroma
Strawberries and cream with a hint of brown sugar and lime — the delicate, inviting bouquet of a sparkling wine that balances refreshing fruit characters with subtle yeast complexity. Immediately appealing and effortlessly elegant.
Palate
Crisp and elegant yet creamy — citrus, rock melon, and warm butter toast with refreshing acidity and a generous mousse that carries the fruit characters through to a clean, lingering finish. The harmonious combination of Chardonnay’s freshness and Pinot Noir’s subtle depth at its most approachable.
Pairs With
Fresh seafood, soft cheeses, smoked salmon, light canapés, and strawberry desserts — or simply as the perfect apéritif for any celebration or casual occasion. The crisp acidity, creamy mousse, and warm butter toast finish make this a versatile and deeply enjoyable sparkling wine for the table.

Producer History
The Drives by Seppelt celebrates the superb regionality of selected Victorian vineyards and the determination and vision of Seppelt’s founder, Joseph Ernst Seppelt — a pioneer and visionary winemaker who planted the first Seppelt vineyard in 1851. The Drives takes its name from the labyrinth of excavated tunnels stretching beneath the Seppelt Winery at Great Western, where generations of wines have slowly matured since 1868. Over 170 years of winemaking history runs beneath those tunnels — and every bottle of The Drives carries that heritage in every bubble.
