This Island Off the Coast of Australia Is a Hidden Paradise for Sparkling Wine Lovers

"A Tamar Valley producer long associated with high-end sparkling, its E. J. Carr Late Disgorged 2004 was named top sparkling in Decanter’s World Wine Awards in 2020. The operation, led by head winemaker Ed Carr, emphasizes balance and complexity—often using Chardonnay, Pinot Noir and Pinot Meunier—and pays particular attention to tannic structure alongside sweetness and acidity; the winery offers tours and tastings that showcase its acclaimed bubblies." - Besha Rodell Besha Rodell Besha Rodell is a James Beard Award-winning writer, editor, and restaurant critic with two decades of experience and an international following.
