This non-vintage red wine sparkles to the tune of a well-balanced blend. The result being a rich, luscious Sparkling Shiraz that shows sweet dark fruits, fruit spice, and subtle savoury notes. It is a wine of discovery, so go and discover – you will love the experience!
A blend of Shiraz batches aged between 3 and 5 years old ensures consistency in style and quality. Each fruit parcel is matured separately in French oak barrels prior to blending with some younger vintage Shiraz which adds lush and juicy fruit characters and freshness to the palate.

Wine Description
Fruit for the Sparkling Shiraz is sourced predominantly from premium grape growing regions in South Australia; namely McLaren Vale and Padthaway.
Situated approximately 40km south of Adelaide, the capital of South Australia, McLaren Vale has a Mediterranean climate. With winter dominant rainfall, low humidity and long warm summers that are tempered by the proximity to the Gulf of St.Vincent, McLaren Vale has one of the most consistent climates in which to grow premium wine grapes.
The Padthaway wine region, since first vineyards were established in 1964, has a well established reputation for producing premium quality grapes across a wide range of varieties, including Shiraz. Chosen for its rich, diverse soils, underground water supply and Mediterranean climate, this region, located approximately 300km south east of Adelaide, produces elegant Shiraz with balance and finesse.
