Modern Sparkle, Classic Method: A Taste of Two Islands Reserve Blanc de Blancs

In a world of beautiful sparkling wines, where bubbles tell stories of time and terroir, Two Islands unveils a special bubbly born of South Australian soils and Balinese passions. Introduced in April 2025, this release marks a significant milestone for the Bali-based label known for its commitment to quality and quiet sophistication.

Made with fruit sourced from South Australia’s Limestone Coast, specifically the cool-climate pockets of Mount Gambier and Wrattonbully, this wine offers a precise expression of Chardonnay. This non-vintage style is a blend of base wines aged between 6 to 24 months in both oak and stainless steel barrels, before spending 24 months sur-lies in bottle. The process develops a complexity that feels earned, not forced.

In the glass, it gleams with a pale gold hue and a bright, energetic rim. On the nose, it reveals delicate honeysuckle, brioche, and vanilla tarte, with notes of melon and pear adding freshness. The palate is refined, with fine, creamy bubbles, hints of roasted nuts, citrus zest, and a finish that lingers with a quiet minerality.

At the heart of this sparkling expression lies the Méthode Traditionnelle, the revered technique used in Champagne, where the wine undergoes a second fermentation in the bottle, creating natural, fine bubbles and a depth that can’t be rushed. This Brut-style Blanc de Blancs (crafted from 100% Chardonnay) balances freshness with complexity. It is elegantly dry, with a precise structure and vibrant acidity. At 12.0% ABV, this Reserve Blanc de Blancs leans toward finesse rather than power, making it a versatile bottle for both celebration and contemplation.

 

Best enjoyed as an elegant aperitif, this wine also pairs seamlessly with light cheeses, fresh oysters, canapés, and other delicate starters. Its high acidity and layered texture make it a perfect companion for refined, seasonal cuisine—an excellent choice for intimate dinners or understated toasts.

For those who appreciate classic structure with a modern signature, Two Islands Reserve Blanc de Blancs delivers a story worth uncorking. Mature in expression, delicate in delivery, and timeless in its appeal, this is a wine made not to impress, but to endure. Let this be the bottle that turns an ordinary evening into something worth remembering.
