The Sparkling Shiraz was made as a non vintage in order to maintain a consistent style. This rich smooth, luscious sparkling Shiraz was bottled from the same grapes as our acclaimed Squid Ink Shiraz Reserve. Intense fruit and rich concentrated flavours creating firm tannins with some toasty oak. It has a complex nose like the Reserve Shiraz with highlights of ripe berry, spice and hints of vanilla. A very intense sparkling typical of the McLaren Vale Shiraz, but uniquely Australian.
