Bleasdale Langhorne Creek Sparkling Shiraz NV (Australia)

Description

Blackberry, Dry, Spice

This multi vintage Shiraz wine is richly flavoured with deep colour and displays dark berry fruit aromas, sweet plum and spicy flavours, silky tannins and a rich, velvety smooth palate.

We select fruit from sandy and stony vineyards to enhance aromatics typical of these soil types. Fermented in open vats before maturation in seasoned oak barrels and tank to retain freshness in the new vintage wines. All small proportion of wine from clay/loam vineyards gives richness to the mid palate ensuring a seamless finish and persistent flavour.

This wine is a non vintage blend of Shiraz that contains wine from every vintage of Shiraz since 1997. Each year in spring we freshen the base blend by adding new vintage Shiraz, freshening the pre-Christmas bottling with new vintage wine, maintaining consistency. Matured in a modified ‘solera’ system, combining seasoned oak barrels and tank maturation.

Food Pairing: Enjoy this classic Australian sparkling wine with cheeses, canapés, duck dishes, peppered beef skewers, Christmas pudding or simply by itself. Suggested serving temperature is 8° to 10°C. Everything from cheese and canapés to Christmas Pudding.
