Sparkling Shiraz forms an integral part of the iconic Barossa tradition in viniculture.
Beneath rich crimson, a complex structure reveals dried cranberry, cacao, blueberry, and cherry, making this wine bold and dazzling with a matching finish.
A celebration of the regions oldest and best loved grape variety, with bubbles to match, unashamedly festive, Sparkling Shiraz is the perfect addition to a Christmas lunch or Sunday brunch.

Description
The base wine for our favourite fizz is created from a Solera system with an average age of 3 years. After tirage it spends up to 24 months on lees, adding a true elegance and finer, more persistent bead. Pedro Ximènez is added following disgorgement, imparting a delicate caress of sweetness, making it just that little more delectable and moreish.
Very dark ruby red, super complex aromas of plums, prune, cherry, blueberry tart, panforte and dark chocolate follow onto a full bodied and intensely flavoured palate. It's dense, black, chocolaty and richly flavoured, the smooth, spreading flavour of it very easy to fall for. It tastes of Christmas cake, plums and chocolate, the combination resulting in a big fat ball of dark-coloured fun, Rich yet fresh on the palate, fine with soft tannins and lingering complex flavours.
