The Story
Made only in exceptional vintages, the 2008 Seppelt Show Sparkling Shiraz celebrates the long history and tradition of Seppelt Sparkling wines and pays homage to this unique Australian wine style.
Varietal: Shiraz 100%
Origin: Grampians, Victoria
Alc: 13%
Winemaking: Whole berry fermentation in small stainless tanks with gentle handling followed by 14 months maturation in seasoned French oak vat (5000L). Produced by the Methode Traditionelle this wine has had 8 years aging in bottle on lees followed by individual bottle disgorgement.
Ageing: Aged in bottle on lees for a minimum of seven years then disgorged at exactly the right maturity, this wine is ready to drink now and will reward with further careful cellaring.
Tasting note: Rich, bright fruit belie its age, displaying blackberry, dark cherry and raspberry compote. Some complex crushed leaves and chocolate flavours reveal sweet spices, and fine, mature tannins provide a distinction and balance that show us it was worth the wait.
