“Vibrant red-purple hue; loaded with ripe, juicy, spicy fruit and somewhat primary and fresh. Full-bodied, plump tannins and no dosage mentioned but it's a decent dab of sweetness rounding out the palate.” - Jane Faulkner for 2021 Halliday Wine Companion

Winemaking - Shiraz grapes from our ‘Moodemere Vineyard’ planted by Norman Killeen in the 1960s were fermented in our open-top vats before being aged in French and American hogsheads prior to secondary fermentation in the bottle. The Traditional Method (Methode Traditionnelle) was used, a popular method to make elegant sparkling wine where the transformation from still to sparkling happens entirely in the bottle.
