Sparkling Shiraz - Vintage - Bottle Fermented
2009
$17.95
The Characteristics
A fine sparkling red champenoise wine with its own distinctive Aussie style … Bottle fermented and aged on lees to capture maximum complexity prior to disgorging
Sparkling wine that is bottle fermented is a higher quality wine ... more likely to be consistent and more complex than tank fermented wine. The wine stays vibrant in the glass longer with better bubble retention and the rate of carbon dioxide evolution is slower with a finer bubble bead. Botle fermented Sparkling wines aged on lees develop interesting, complex flavours.
Colour
Rich ruby red with a fine sparkling bead.
Aroma
A vibrant plum nose
Palate
Loads of luscious grapes showing off Shiraz fresh fruity flavours with firm, but soft tannins and a hint of sweetness with a lingering semi-dry finish and an effervescent spritz.
Technical Information
