Labelled as Irvine’s Burgundy until the 1980s, Sparkling Show Shiraz was relaunched by the legendary Ian McKenzie, who began releasing a number of back vintages from the 1960s. For a very long time, the only winemaker anywhere producing an effervescent Shiraz, the House of Seppelt remain luminaries of this internationally lionized style. Grapes are selectively picked off the best blocks on the distinguished St Peter’s, Imperial and McKenzie Vineyards. Fruit is vinified in seasoned large format French oak barrels for twelve to sixteen months. Batches are then treated to a secondary bottle fermentation and seven years ageing on yeast lees before disgorgement and crown seal. Alcohol 13.5%
