A most tasty encapsulation of the modern style of sparkling Shiraz. It’s dry, super fresh with bubbly energy to burn and plenty of everyday drinking appeal. Arrives in deep, dark, irresistible purple hues. Plum, spice, mulberry, cacao aromas. Expect more fruit forward appeal, none of the sandalwood, camphor woody spice of old school sparkling Shiraz. This is spice with a touch of pepper combined with attractive violet aromatics tied to bright, ripe plummy red fruit. It’s a versatile sparkling, clean and bright, perfectly suited to a glass on a Sunday afternoon as much as it is to the table. And definitely not just for Christmas Day lunch, the modern style of sparkling Shiraz deserves more.
