| SPARKLING GOLD... pink French style! |
 |
Leura Park Estate has reinforced its status as a Geelong region sparkling wine powerhouse by taking out a coveted Gold medal at the recent French-Australian Chamber of Commerce (FACC) Le Concours des Vins du Victoria awards for its Vintage Grande Cuveee Sparkling Pinot Chardonnay.
The award follows the same wine being ranked as the top sparkling at the recent Geelong Wine Show, as well as taking out bronze medals at both the Boutique Wine Show of Australia and Winewise Small Vignerons 2011 Awards...
France is the home of champagne - so to have French experts deem our sparkling worthy of a gold medal is particularly special. Visit us in Cellar Door to see for yourself why this sparkling pink liquid gold is winning awards... You'll be back for more we promise!
