”Drinkers tend to either like sparkling shiraz or they don't. It's the great divider. This classic Victorian is a good starting point for any tour of discovery. It brings the grape's wild earthiness, black fruits and spice to the glass with the added brilliance of bubbles and then dresses it all in a gentle oak-derived savouriness. There is a touch of sweetness, but it's part of the traditional style and it works.”
