🍷 Appearance
Deep ruby to dark crimson in the glass with a lively mousse and persistent bead. A vibrant crimson foam forms when poured, typical of quality Australian sparkling Shiraz.
👃 Aroma (Nose)
Generous aromas of dark berries, blackcurrant and ripe raspberry rise from the glass, complemented by hints of plum and subtle spice.
👅 Palate
Rich and fruit-driven with flavours of blackberry, plum and vibrant raspberry. Layers of sweet spice and dark fruit develop through the mid-palate, supported by the wine’s creamy bubbles.
⚖️ Structure
Medium-to-full bodied with silky tannins and a velvety mouthfeel. A fine persistent bead provides energy and balance, creating a smooth and rounded texture.
🔚 Finish
Long and satisfying with lingering dark berry fruit and gentle spice, finishing smooth and plush.
🍇 Overall Style
A classic Australian sparkling Shiraz from McLaren Vale—rich, vibrant and full of character. Generous dark fruit, silky texture and lively bubbles make this an expressive and celebratory red sparkling style.
🍽️ Food Pairing
Perfect with Christmas ham, roast duck, barbecue meats, char-grilled mushrooms or rich pâté and mature cheeses.
Cheers
