Greenock Creek Sparkling Shiraz 2019 750ml

Bold, decadent, and distinctly Australian – Greenock Creek Sparkling Shiraz 2019 is a luxurious take on a classic Barossa icon. Hailing from old-vine Shiraz grown in Marananga's cool gullies, this method champenoise sparkler captures the drama and depth of Barossa Valley fruit. The base wine was matured in American oak for 12 months before bottling, then aged three years on lees to develop texture and mousse character. Tasting Profile Visual: Deep purple core with vibrant red edges, rising into a fine, persistent bead  Aroma: Dark plum, blackberry, mocha, and liquorice mingle with nutty oak and gentle leather notes  Palate: Rich and plush, offering concentrated black fruit with earth, dark chocolate, and savoury complexity. A fine tannin structure provides balance, culminating in a long, weighty finish .
