Monterra Sparkling Shiraz 2021
- Rich, complex
- McLaren Vale
You might be thinking- damn it’s hard to find a bottle of sparkling shiraz under $20! Well Mofos, we hear you. Just like you, when chrissy comes around and the aunts and uncles are dying for something rich but refreshing we’re reaching for that sparkling red. It goes well with food, with a hot christmas day, with an after-dinner cheeseboard, even a sunny afternoon on the beach with the cricket game going. This one has a good dose of 2017 shiraz for that extra lick of richness (a little winemaker’s secret for you there) and you’ll be all the merrier for it. After all, what says December to us Aussies better than this fine drink?

Reviews
Wine Orbit
“This is instantly appealing on the nose with mixed berry compote, potpourri, vanilla and roasted hazelnut aromas. The palate is equally satisfying, delivering ripe fruit richness and subtle sweetness with fleshy texture and velvety tannins, offering fabulous drinking.”

Region
McLaren Vale
McLaren Vale is a region that lives in the shadow of the hype of the Barossa. While it has played on Shiraz as its drawcard, and continues to battle (quite rightly) with the supreme power of the Barossa, perhaps the most exciting wines from this region are its old vine Grenache and Mataro (Mourvedre/Monastrell - whatever you want to call it), and its more recent foray into Spanish and Italian varietals. Both the sun's warmth and the reliable salty afternoon gully breeze make the climate closer to Mediterranean than many other Aussie regions, and some of the Fiano, Vermentino, Tempranillo and Sangiovese from here are sublime (to name only a few). Awareness, proper consideration and sense of place are key attributes to the region's success, and its recent win against urbanisation reinforces the value of the viticultural region.
