Sparkling Shiraz, first created in the 1880s in Victoria, is a wine that needs celebrating. Ours is light, juicy, and bright; the vibrant fruit enticing the palate, whilst the fine tingle of bubbles of the tongue keeps you salivating. It’s the wine of festivity and fun; to take to a party or sip on a summer’s afternoon.
