Brown Family Wine Group brand, Pirie Tasmania, has released its Millésime Prestige Range, which the company stated is a rare and refined expression of Tasmania’s sparkling potential.

Featuring the 2022 Blanc de Blancs and 2023 Vintage Rosé, this special release is born out of an alignment of site, season, and skill.

Crafted by head winemaker, Tom Wallace, these cuvées are drawn exclusively from Tamar Valley vineyards, where Tasmania’s cool climate and long, gentle seasons create sparkling wines of extraordinary purity, tension, and elegance.

  • Pirie Millésime Prestige Blanc de Blancs 2022
    Crafted from 100 per cent handpicked Chardonnay, this wine opens with lifted aromas of citrus and sourdough, underpinned by refined lees complexity.
  • Pirie Millésime Prestige Rosé 2023
    An elegant salmon hue introduces aromas of rose petal, wild strawberry, and brioche. Pinot Noir delivers red-fruited intensity and mineral precision, while Chardonnay adds lift and clarity.

“These wines are a true expression of patience and provenance,” said Wallace.

“They’re only made when the vintage is exceptional – and that’s what makes them so special. These wines are crafted for life’s most memorable moments. Whether it’s a milestone celebration, an intimate dinner, or simply elevating a quiet evening, Millésime Prestige brings a sense of occasion to every pour.”

Pirie Millésime Prestige is now available exclusively online at pirietasmania.com.au and at the Tamar Ridge Cellar Door, for RRP $100 per bottle, including gift box.
