Craiglee Sparkling Shiraz No. 8 2019

Still young and raw, this Craiglee Sparkling Shiraz offers a lot from the first opening. Crimson in colour, there is stong blueberry, along with currants, white pepper with a sweet raw beef and yeast evident too. The palate of Craiglee Sparkling Shiraz is leathery, with currants and pepper. The acid is zesty with fine fruit tannins and dark grapes. The finish is almost like a lovely Italian amaro. Leave this wine for the long term and reap the rewards. The latest Craiglee Sparkling Red is made from vintage 2019. Craiglee Sparking Shiraz has been barrel-aged for 12 months before undergoing Méthode Champenoise bottle fermentation. Liqueur was added at 12g/l to create a lighter, drier style. This will match well with pork dishes and poultry for Christmas.
