Majella

Producer website

Majella is located in Coonawara, some 200 miles south of Adelaide in an area known as the Limestone Coast Zone that is best known for its fine Cabernet Sauvignon. Originally suppliers for large wineries, owners Brian and Tony Lynn now produce 100% Cabernet, Shiraz and Riesling with fruit from their own vineyard under the Majella label, as well as blends of Cabernet and Shiraz. Bruce Gregory is Majella’s winemaker.

Majella Sparkling Shiraz

Sparkling Shiraz

Sparkling red wines are a great Australian tradition, and along with other wineries Majella has kept the tradition alive with our very popular Sparkling Shiraz.

The colour is a vibrant dark red with a bright ruby hue.
Exhibiting a fine bead with attractive fresh plum, raspberry and blackberry aromas with similar black fruit characters and a hint of spice on the complex palate, which is smooth, balanced and luscious with gentle tannins and a generous finish.

It's a great wine for any occasion, and goes well with most food styles.
