The Black Queen Sparkling Shiraz could be thought of as Champagne for red wine drinkers. The base fruit is from a nearly 100 year old vineyard, aged in older oak for a year and then bottle fermented and aged on lees for 4 years. The result – a mellow, dark fruits and fruitcake flavour packed bubbly that can be enjoyed on a variety of occasions. Served chilled as an aperitif, at the end of a meal or anytime you want a treat!
Winery notes (2018 Vintage)
"Sparkling Shiraz is a unique Australian wine style, and former Chief Winemaker Andrew Wigan was inspired to make a great sparkling wine from Barossa Shiraz in the 1980s.
Often referred to as the ‘Jewel in our Crown’ our Black Queen Sparkling Shiraz is a unique and indulgent wine using grapes sourced from premium vineyards in the Barossa region, used to craft this exceptional wine. Best enjoyed chilled, and matches beautifully with rock oysters or roast turkey. A true celebratory wine to enjoy with family, friends and fine food.
The 'jewel in our crown', this unique and indulgent Sparkling red wine boasts naturally low tannins and rich juicy blue fruit flavours, balanced by spice and a savoury finish."
