Grape Varietal— Shiraz

Deep Crimson in colour. The nose has lashings of beautiful cherries and dark plums. It has a persistent fine bead and is superbly developed, showing richness, softness and a delicate yeast complexity with a delicate off-dry finish.

93 Points - Halliday Wine Companion 

"A fragrant, somewhat flirtatious style with crushed herb accents and bright red fruit. The fruit was harvested in McLaren Vale and then transferred to Kinklewood in the Hunter, where fermentation occurred in a mix of stainless steel and wooden vessels. It was tirage-aged for 36 months before disgorging in late '23. There is a liveliness and an energy to the palate, with gentle savouriness, papery tannin and spice on the close. Sweetness does not burden the wine, with the whole package joyous and divine." 

This sparkling is made in traditional method, whereby the Shiraz juice underwent secondary fermentation in the bottle & was aged on yeast lees for 36 months before riddling & disgorge. It is made from 100% Shiraz fruit & is the first batch to be released of this vintage.
