Sparkling Shiraz on Christmas Day to go with the Roast Turkey is a tradition in Australia. An interesting story from the back Label. Released only in small quantities and only in exceptional years. Seppelt first began producing Sparkling Shiraz in the 1890s thanks to Hans Irvine. Apparently there was intense debate between Seppelt winemakers as to where the best fruit was allocated - the Sparkling or the Still. Eight years on lees. These are made to be 30 year Wines. Berry and Herbs. Concentration and length with the bubbles. Made from Seppelts best old vines. Sensational! Long life ahead. — 6 years ago

Great wine...I think I love These types of wine. ... buy again! Bought at Irvine ranch market — 6 years ago
Must decant/air for 3+ hrs.
Opens up to a sumptuous wine. Dark plum coloured. Earthen nose. Leather, must, dried violets but with subtle blue berries. Fantastic mouth feel. New world with forward fruits heavy and rich. Vanilla, licorice and cola. Medium plus tannins. Would not pair with rich meat or steak. Hard and semi-hard cheese should be good. — 7 years ago
