A Toast to Excellence: 2022 Nadine Blanc de Blancs Takes Home Top Gold at the 2026 Queensland Wine Awards
We’re raising a glass to an outstanding achievement! Sirromet’s 2022 Private Collection Nadine Blanc de Blancs has been awarded Top Gold at the 2026 Queensland Wine Awards, recognising the quality, craftsmanship and character of this exceptional sparkling wine.
A celebration of Queensland winemaking, this prestigious accolade is a proud moment for the Sirromet team and everyone involved in bringing Nadine Blanc de Blancs to life.
A Celebration of Craftsmanship and Character
Crafted in the traditional méthode traditionnelle style, the 2022 Nadine Blanc de Blancs showcases the elegance and complexity of 100% Chardonnay sparkling wine.
Sourced from the Granite Belt in Queensland, this vintage sparkling wine has spent 3.5 years on lees, developing layers of richness, complexity and finesse. The result is a beautifully balanced wine with a fine, tight bead and a refreshing citrus-driven finish.
Tasting Notes: Elegance in Every Bubble
On the palate, crisp green apple sherbet and delicate fresh lemon pith create a vibrant, refreshing profile. These flavours are complemented by a complex bouquet of fresh green apples, delicate custard patisserie and subtle sourdough notes from extended lees ageing.
A bright lemon citrus finish brings balance, making this a versatile sparkling wine for celebrations, special occasions or simply enjoying a glass with friends.
The Perfect Pairing
Whether you're celebrating a milestone or enjoying a relaxed afternoon, the 2022 Nadine Blanc de Blancs is a wonderful choice to accompany delicate dishes and fresh seafood.
For a considered food pairing, enjoy it with:
-
Fresh oysters
-
Light seafood salad
-
Delicate canapés
The wine's crisp acidity and elegant complexity make it a natural match for light, refined flavours.
A Proud Moment for Sirromet
Receiving Top Gold at the 2026 Queensland Wine Awards is a wonderful recognition of the dedication, passion and attention to detail that goes into every bottle of Sirromet wine.
The 2022 Nadine Blanc de Blancs is a celebration of Queensland-grown Chardonnay, traditional sparkling winemaking and the legacy of the Morris family.
We invite you to discover this award-winning vintage and experience the elegance of Nadine Blanc de Blancs for yourself.
While Nadine Blanc de Blancs celebrates elegance and precision, Sirromet’s second Top Gold winner tells a story of richness, tradition and time spent together.
A Taste of Tradition: NV The Clyde Tawny Takes Home Top Gold at the 2026 Queensland Wine Awards
We’re thrilled to celebrate another outstanding achievement for Sirromet Wines! NV The Clyde Tawny has been awarded Top Gold at the 2026 Queensland Wine Awards, recognising the quality and craftsmanship behind one of our much-loved fortified wines.
This prestigious accolade is a wonderful celebration of Queensland winemaking and the dedication of our team to creating wines that leave a lasting impression.
A Tribute to Clyde Joseph Dossett
The Clyde Tawny is more than a fortified wine; it's a tribute to Clyde Joseph Dossett, Lurleen’s father, whose love of life, friendship and shared moments inspired this special release.
At Sirromet, we believe wine is best enjoyed with good company, and The Clyde Tawny embodies that spirit. Inspired by Clyde's appreciation for a pipe and a port shared with family and friends, this wine invites you to slow down, savour the moment and enjoy the company of those around you.
Crafted for Richness and Complexity
The Clyde Tawny is a rich, dessert-style fortified wine, matured in old French oak to develop its distinctive oxidative character.
The winemaking process combines carefully managed fermentation, spirit addition and extended maturation, creating a wine with depth, balance and a beautifully rounded finish.
Tasting Notes: A Luscious Expression
With a rich tawny garnet colour, The Clyde Tawny offers an indulgent combination of fruit, spice and oak-aged complexity.
Expect notes of:
-
Baked and dried berries and plum
-
Toffee and roasted nuts
-
Rich cassis, fig and raisin
-
Cigar, truffle and subtle mocha
A silky mouthfeel and rich, rounded finish complete this beautifully balanced fortified wine.
The Perfect Pour
The Clyde Tawny is an ideal companion for relaxed evenings, special occasions or a decadent dessert.
For a classic pairing, enjoy it with plum pudding and crème anglaise, or savour a glass alongside fine dark chocolate.
Whether shared with friends or enjoyed as a quiet indulgence, The Clyde Tawny is a reminder that the best moments are often those spent together.
Celebrating Award-Winning Queensland Wine
Being awarded Top Gold at the 2026 Queensland Wine Awards is a proud achievement for Sirromet and a celebration of the care and craftsmanship behind The Clyde Tawny.
We invite you to discover this special release and raise a glass to Clyde — to friendship, family and the simple pleasure of sharing a great wine.
