This is a magnificent premium quality Tawny Port. The label declares it as a 15 Year Old but we suspect there's considerably older material contained in the blend. The style may not be as fashionable as itonce was, but that shouldn't stop some enthusiastic bidding with a starting bid way below wholesale price. The great Australian icon of sparkling wine. Truly sparkling red wine has a unique place in its own country, for here it is seen at its best rather than as a curiosity.
Australian winemakers are the most adept in undertaking, making and promoting the style.
The natural Shiraz fruit lifts over the tannins and soften the whole palate. Truly a symphony of style and flavour made from mature wines and then left on lees for nine months. This is typical classy sparkling Barossa shiraz. Plenty of oomph, alcohol and flavour.
