Appearance
Deep ruby-red with vibrant crimson hues and a persistent fine bead of bubbles, this sparkling Shiraz presents an impressive depth of colour in the glass, signalling its rich and concentrated character.
Aroma
The bouquet is intensely aromatic, revealing layers of dark berry fruits including blackberry, plum, and black cherry. Complementary notes of dark chocolate, liquorice, and subtle spice add complexity, whilst hints of vanilla and toasted oak from careful maturation provide depth and sophistication to the aromatic profile.
Palate
Full-bodied and richly textured, the palate delivers an opulent mouthfeel with velvety tannins that balance beautifully with the wine's natural effervescence. Concentrated flavours of ripe blackberry, plum, and dark cherry are enhanced by notes of mocha, spice, and a touch of pepper. The fine bubbles provide lift and freshness, whilst the wine's structure and depth lead to a long, satisfying finish. This is a seriously impressive sparkling red that showcases the Barossa Valley's ability to produce world-class Shiraz in all its forms.
