95 Points - James Halliday, Australian Wine Companion
"Blend no. 8 disgorged Oct '13. One of the best, not entered in shows because of volume constraints. Has spicy black fruits, a finely textured palate, and a very long, well balanced, dry finish."

From the Winery

Sparkling Shiraz forms an integral part of the iconic Barossa tradition in viniculture. A celebration of the regions oldest and best loved grape variety, with bubbles to match. Unashamedly festive, sparkling Shiraz is the perfect addition to a Christmas lunch or Sunday brunch.

Every spring our winemaker, Mark Bulman, meticulously assesses the multitudes of Shiraz barrels and a select few are set aside for sparkling production. Rich in primary fruit and naturally low in tannin this Shiraz is perfect for this bottle-fermented sparkling wine. The Shiraz then goes into our solera system to join other base wines and aged in French casks. The base wine is then blended and tiraged in the traditional method. Following the secondary fermentation the wine is left to mature on lees for approximately one year before disgorgement and liquoring with our own Pedro Ximenez.
