Winemakers Notes || Sourced from our estate grown vineyards, this full bodied sparkling shiraz has been matured in French oak for 18 months prior to re-fermentation. Tank fermentation has given this wine a delightfully fine bead with smooth, velvety mouth feel. It has intense ruby colour with flavours of ripe mulberry, cherry, rich vanilla and spice with a long, lingering finish. Enjoy chilled.
