Turkey Flat Sparkling Shiraz / N.V. / 75cl
Turkey Flat Sparkling Shiraz / N.V. / 75cl
Sparkling Shiraz, in some circles, is considered as something of an oddity. In the Barossa however it’s formed part of an iconic tradition, with the cult following to match. Every spring winemaker Mark Bulman, meticulously assesses the multitudes of Shiraz barrels and a select few are set aside for sparkling production. Rich in primary fruit and naturally low in tannin this Shiraz is perfect for this bottle-fermented sparkling wine. The Shiraz then goes into Turkey Flat's solera system to join other base wines and aged for an average of 3 years in French casks. The base wine is then blended and tiraged in the traditional method. Following the secondary fermentation the wine is left to mature on lees for approximately 24 months before disgorgement and liquoring with their own Pedro Ximenez.
Beneath a rich shade of crimson lies at its heart a deep, complex stucture. Full of dried cranberry, cacao, blueberry and cherry. This wine is bold yet dazzling with a mosaic of flavours and a finish to match. Cellar up to 10 years.
