Colour is an intense russet red. The nose shows classic Shiraz aromas of pepper, spice, leather and cigar box. Dark chocolate flavours combine with notes of leather, cigar box and spice resulting in a rich, full-bodied and flavoursome palate. The wine shows a well-integrated balance of complex, mature components, married with fresh, vibrant, youthful parcels. Round and soft with blackcurrant, velvetine, perfect balance, softness and integration throughout. The result is a classic, non-vintage sparkling wine with excellent, savoury bottle age characters. Ideal with duck and game, Asian foods and dessert, ideal with canapes and cheese.
