2018 Sparkling Shiraz

Appearance
Deep garnet in colour

Bouquet
The bouquet exhibits lifted red and black fruits, white pepper, and spice.

Palate
The palate is dominated by rich spicy red fruits, some clove and white pepper, leading to a soft, medium bodied mid- palate fine mousse and balanced acidity.

Fermentation
Oakdene Sparkling shiraz is a complex, dry, sparkling wine crafted from rich, spicy estate grown Shiraz made in the “traditional method”, where the secondary ferment takes place in bottle. The wine is left to ferment and age on lees for 18 months before hand riddling, disgorging, corking and finished with a measured dosage (still wine and sugar addition) to balance the wine and fill out the palate.

Conclusion
Enjoy well chilled as an aperitif with or without food.
