Chandon Sparkling Pinot Noir Shiraz NV is a vibrant Australian sparkling red from cool climate Victorian sites — approximately 70% Pinot Noir from the Green Point vineyard in the Yarra Valley and Strathbogie, blended with 30% Shiraz from Heathcote, the Yarra Valley, and the Pyrenees. Deep ruby-red with a persistent fine bead; dark cherry, blackberry, and sweet spice on the nose; full-bodied and flavourful on the palate with a creamy mousse, fine chalky tannins, and a bright, long, savoury finish.
Appearance
Deep ruby-red with vibrant crimson hues and a persistent stream of fine bubbles — the rich, inviting colour of a cool climate Victorian sparkling red crafted from hand punch-down fermented Pinot Noir and Shiraz, with the depth and intensity that open-top fermentation and careful skin contact deliver.
Aroma
Ripe cherries, blackberries, blackcurrants, and sweet blueberries — with alluring notes of sweet spices including liquorice, cinnamon, and cloves adding complexity and warmth. The enticing, layered bouquet of 15 individual red wine cuvées assembled from Yarra Valley, Heathcote, and Pyrenees fruit at its most expressive.
Palate
Full-bodied and flavourful — the prise de mousse contributing a soft, creamy texture and weight to the mid-palate, whilst fine chalky tannins provide structure and length. The finish is bright, long-lasting, and savoury — a forward, fruit-driven sparkling red of genuine distinction and the kind of cool climate Victorian character that only Chandon can assemble.
Pairs With
Roasted duck with cherry sauce, barbecued lamb with rosemary, aged cheddar or blue cheese, charcuterie boards, mushroom risotto, or dark chocolate desserts — the creamy mousse, fine tannins, and savoury finish make this a versatile and deeply satisfying partner for the finest food at the table.
