Australian Sparkling Shiraz is known for its vibrant and robust character. Expect aromas of ripe dark berries such as blackberry, plum, and blackcurrant, often accompanied by notes of spice (black pepper, liquorice), dark chocolate, and a hint of savoury meatiness. On the palate, it’s typically full-bodied with a rich, velvety texture, balanced by refreshing effervescence and a bright acidity. The finish is usually long and fruity, sometimes with a touch of sweetness to balance the robust fruit and tannins.
