Professional Ratings
Wine Spectator
“Robust, with black cherry, star anise and strong black tea flavors that lean into notes of sandalwood and mahogany, with a spicy, fizzy finish. Drink now. 5,000 cases made, 1,400 cases imported.”
Highlights
The fruit is sourced from premium Shiraz growing regions including McLaren Vale and Langhorne Creek with the result being a rich, luscious Sparkling Shiraz that is well balanced and food friendly. Showing wonderful smooth integrated fruit and a rich weighty texture across the palate. This is blended with a touch of younger vintage Shiraz bringing ripe juicy fruit characters to the finished product.
