Ultra-premium McLaren Vale shiraz fruit, treated in the 'Methode Traditionelle' or 'Champagne Method' and left on lees for about 7 years. Then aged. For ages. This is as good as sparkling shiraz gets - that's not an expression in this instance, that's just fact. Slap this down on the table at Christmas and it's the only thing anyone will be talking about 'til next year!

Why do we love this wine?
Sparkling shiraz is the ultimate love-it-or-hate-it wine style. If you're on board with the concept, this genuinely represents the absolute pinnacle of what's possible. This is a wine that was designed to reshape how we think of the style. Premium McLaren Vale shiraz fruit - the type of gear that normally goes into ultra-premium flagship reds worth more than the computer I'm writing this on - treated to the full Methode Traditionelle experience used by great Champagne houses. We end up with a decadently rich sparkling shiraz that earns its place at the most exclusive occasions. This is sparkling red for when only the very best suffices - a homage to sheer opulence and luxury bottled. Oh and the age... so, you know what happens when you tuck away top-shelf McLaren Vale reds? Well, combine that with the moussey bubbles and gorgeous savoury development you get when you age Champagne. That's what we're dealing with here. It's not for everyone, sure, but nothing great ever is.
