Tasting Notes:

Purple to magenta in colour with a crimson hue. Intense rich dark fruit aromatics plum, pepper and secondary notes of leather and oak. Fresh and vibrant the intensity of the fruit prevails with plum, sarsaparilla and black pepper notes all playing roles with some leather saddle and oak. A fine bead combines with the bright juicy fruit and spicy notes to balance the sweetness and tannin structure.

Technical:

Sourced from premium vineyards located in Great Western which forms part of the Grampians wine region one of Australia’s most highly regarded and oldest grape growing regions. Hand selected fruit was picked and transported to the winery for crushing and fermentation on skins. We selected the finest base wine for maturation with oak influence and the use of liqueur de tirage brought on secondary fermentation in tank where it was held under pressure for six weeks prior to final dosage, filtering, and bottling. Will drink well now although will age well and develop more complexity over the next 5 years plus.

Rated 4 out of 5 by Simmo from Raptor Sparkling Shiraz Distinctively Great Western Shiraz , with bubbles!! What more could you ask for. Exactly what I was hoping for , extremely pleased. Tight berry fruits, dusty tannins clean finish, lovely.

Rated 4 out of 5 by Mick H from Great Value For Money A dry and leathery sparkling shiraz. Not overtly sweet, nor tannic. A quite restrained style -and it will be interesting to see how this develops over time - especially under crown seal, as it will not lose its' fizziness.

Rated 3 out of 5 by LORW from Sparkling Shiraz I bought this a while ago to compare with other Sparkling Shiraz. On a hot day it is a refreshing drink with a fruity taste.

Rated 3 out of 5 by Great Southern Land from Uncomplicated refreshing summer drinking. Opened one bottle so far. Somewhat disappointing, but okay for the price. The brass beer bottle type cap was a surprise, but did not effect the sparkling wine. Good uncomplicated summer drinking wine at this price.
