Excellent. Superb and substantial version of sparkling shiraz. 13.5% alc. Colour: deep black berry Bouquet: sweet rich blackberry, blueberry and plum fruit, spice, boot polish, leather, some yeast character Palate: like bouquet, slightly metallic, very full bodied and flavoured, very dry long clean finish November 2019

This tastes exactly as advertised: Rich, almost porty in flavor and texture, with gobs of black fruit, gravelly minerality, and a sappy finish. Basically a carbonated Shiraz sans structure or complexity. There's no shame in liking this style but I'm good with one glass.

Excellent, a bit sweet, medium to heavy body, dark, not super-sophisticated but very enjoyable! Our go-to sparkling Shiraz. Really good.

Off dry grape juice, alcohol, and bubbles. Not to be overthought as there's nothing to it. Essentially Aussie Lambrusco, and a likely crowd pleaser.
