Description
When Peter Dredge and his wife are drinking at home, more often than not, they're drinking low-dosage Champagne (usually from a grower). But drinking these beautiful, piercing, dry sparklings on the regular can be an expensive business.
Enter the Dr. Edge Brut Nature...
This is a non-vintage Tasmanian sparkling - with zero dosage - and just a couple of years in bottle. The fruit - a blend of Pinot Noir, Chardonnay & Pinot Meunier - hails from premium sites in Tamar Valley in the north of Tasmania. Dredge has a wealth of experience making traditional method sparkling, from years working at Bay of Fires adn House of Arras and more recently for Meadowbank - now those expertise come to the fore under the Dr. Edge label.
If you imagine biting into a crisp, fresh granny smith apple while facing the bracing Tasmanian wind and sea spray on the coast of the Apple Isle you'll get a mental picture of what drinking this is like.
It's fresh, it's racy, it would go beautifully with a plate of oysters. A fantastic, frisky fizz from our favourite Tassie Doctor.

"Distinct brine and Manzanilla-like character, ripe lemon and green apple, yeast and flowers. It’s dry and saline, the texture is firm and chalky, there’s a thirst-slaking bite of acidity, a lovely tickle of delicate bubbles, and a steely dry finish of excellent length. It makes me fancy a gilda or three."
