Details
Las Niñas is a premium sparkling wine from Chile that stands out as an exceptional wine when you have the need to pop some fizz. WIth some complex toasty and creamy notes to start, this wine comes into its own with citrus and nectarine notes. A lovely balanced sparkling with plenty of complexity, which is also high on the delicious scale.
Les Grands Chais is a company that is based in France although they have arms that spread across the modern world with wineries in operation in Australia, New Zealand, Chile and Argentina as well as mainland Europe. Their approach is to source exceptional fruit and make modern styles of wines that will be well received. The Good Pair Days wine team were impressed with their Chilean brands, Casa Bollén and Viña Las Niñas as well as the sparkling wines from Baron D’Arignac. On first visiting Les Grands Chais, apart from being overawed with the amount of wines at our fingertips, the team found the wines to be made with a strong focus on quality and showcasing regionality in each bottle. They each have their own story to tell and whether you are a fan of classical styles or discovering something new, they have you covered. We are excited to bring these wines to Australian shores for the first time.

Pairing guide
We just adore the elegance and fascinating features of this sparkling wine from Las Niñas, which offers the perfect bite and brightness to make it a champion food-pairing bottle. It’s going to be excellent with fish and chips, grilled or fried chicken dishes, steak milanese and tempura vegetables, and stunning with herb and vegetable fritters or seaside treats like fritto misto or anchovy fillets with sourdough. Oysters, caviar and desserts featuring apple and sharp soft fruits like gooseberry will also provide fabulous results.
