Overview
The Knappstein Sparkling Shiraz is a vibrant, full-bodied sparkling wine that showcases the ripe, bold fruit of the Northern Clare Valley. Known for its savoury complexity, earthy undertones, and effervescent bubbles, this sparkling Shiraz is perfect for elevating any celebration. Sourced from Knappstein's iconic 50-year-old vineyards, this wine reflects the winery's commitment to minimal intervention and pure, high-quality fruit. The result is a rich, layered wine with a creamy mousse and smooth tannins that lingers on the palate.
Tasting Notes
Deep purple in colour, the Knappstein Sparkling Shiraz presents a full and savoury nose, brimming with aromas of blackberry, plum, dark cocoa, and a touch of spice. On the palate, ripe blackberry and dark plum flavours are entwined with hints of dark cocoa, black pepper, and nutmeg, creating a rich, complex profile. The creamy, vibrant mousse enlivens the wine, while smooth, dusty tannins provide substance and texture. The finish is dry and broody, leaving a cleansing sensation. This sparkling Shiraz is best enjoyed with rich dishes like smoked chorizo or Mexican black beans, and will develop beautifully over the next three years.
