Majella Sparkling Shiraz Coonawarra – 2022
CHF 29.90
Sparkling red wines are a great Australian tradition, and along with other wineries Majella has kept this tradition alive with their very popular Sparkling Shiraz.
The colour is a vibrant dark red with a bright ruby hue. It has attractive fresh plum, raspberry and blackberry aromas with similar black fruit characters and a hint of spice on the complex palate. Smooth, balanced and luscious with gentle tannins and a generous finish.
This is a great wine for any occasion, and goes well with most food styles.
“Great with bacon and eggs!” Winemaker Brian “Prof” Lynn
“…it is a glorious awakening to a new way to enjoy sparkling” David Zyw, “101 Champagnes and Other Sparkling Wines to Try Before You Die”.
Winemaking
The base wine of this sparkling Shiraz was matured in 2nd and 3rd use French oak hogsheads for 5 months before secondary fermentation. The wine was on its “lees” for 12 months and, using methode traditionelle, the bottles were hand riddled, then disgorged and a small amount of liqueur (vintage port) added for extra complexity.
