Normans Holbrooks Road Sparkling Shiraz Nv

Almost black with purple flashes in colour. Rich red and black berry fruit with lifted spice aromatics. Subtle yeast complexity and light oak are also showing through.

A generous and soft palate with black berry and ripe cherry notes. Medium to full weight with lovely soft tannins and a fine persistent mousse. 

Winemaking

This wine underwent cool fermentation on skins then pressed into stainless steel after six days to optimise colour and flavour. The wine was matured in stainless steel to maintain freshness with some light oak maturation. Subtle yeast contact and secondary fermentation ensure that a balanced and well-integrated sparkling wine is produced. This skilfully blended wine utilises younger wines to impart lifted primary fruit characters with older wines to soften and add complexity.

Cellaring

Made to drink upon release whilst the fruit flavour is at its most fresh and vibrant.
