Jip Jip Rocks Sparkling Shiraz NV

Such a popular style, this is delicious drinking any time of year. Those who insist on leaving it for Christmas are missing out the other 364 days of the year. Absolutely no need to limit yourself. Whilst it is a non-vintage wine, we are told that the majority of the contribution is from three year old Shiraz from the Padthaway region, which spent time in older French oak barrels. Crimson ochre in colour, there are notes of red fruits, cocoa powder, plums, crushed herbs, a flick of chocolate and quite a fleshy roast meat touch. Of medium length, this is fresh and exuberant with a very gentle note of sweetness. It will provide easy and enjoyable drinking any time over the next four years, likely longer.
