D'Sas Sparkling Shiraz 2018
- Rich, complex
- Heathcote
Follow me on a little journey of thought. D’sas have been making incredible prosecco for years. And what’s the ideal festive bubbles? Sparkling shiraz of course! So it would make perfect sense to look to D’sas, masters of the summer fizz. D’sas sources the shiraz from Heathcote and all from the exceptional 2018 vintage. The resulting wine is rich, round on the nose and palate and overflowing with plums, spice, blackberries and a lovely sweetness. Isn’t logic a beautiful thing?

Heathcote
There are two distinct styles of Heathcote wine, which can get confusing. There's Wild Duck Creek Duck Muck at the giant end of the spectrum for Greenock Creek lovers (I'm talking 17.5% alcohol!). And then there's Jasper Hill, Heathcote Estate, Chalmers' new Heathcote outfit and some new alternative varieties that seem to be making it into the best weird and wonderful natural wines in the country. Think Shiraz here traditionally, but don't be afraid to try the Nebbiolo, Fiano and Lagrein from painstakingly selected vineyards. They're refreshingly delicious.
