Description Coppabella is owned by Jason and Alecia Brown, owners of the highly successful Moppity Vineyards in Hilltops. They became aware of the quality of Tumbarumba chardonnay and pinot noir, in particular the quality of the grapes from the 71ha Coppabella vineyard, when purchasing grapes for Moppity Vineyards. Sirius is a blend of three great Pinot Noir clones: 777, MV6 and D5V12, sourced from varying elevations and aspects within our T21 block. Hand-picked. Lifted and perfumed with floral and plum notes. The palate is bright and generous with fresh red and blue fruits, savoury notes and spice. A wonderfully textural wine with silky, polished tannins and a long finish.
Vineyards are found at altitudes ranging from 300 to 800 metres (984 to 2624 feet). Vines have been grown in Tumbarumba since 1982 and currently there are more than 25 vineyards in the region. Due to the region's colder climate, the majority of the Pinot Noir and Chardonnay are used for sparkling wine. However, when conditions allow, both grape varieties have been used to produce still wine. Vines were established at Tumbarumba in 1982.
Tumbarumba is a charming town offering an unspoilt experience for visitors. The dramatic peaks of the Snowy Mountains to the east, the bubbling streams and green fields offer a peaceful, gentle ambience. The cool climate wines on offer are something to savour, especially when matched with regional food.
