The Best's Great Western Sparkling Shiraz reveals a deep magenta intensity with a purple hue in the glass. A rocky mousse fills the glass then subsides to reveal a lace of fine persistent bubbles. The nose shows a pronounced bouquet of primary and secondary notes. Intense plum and blue fruits, coupled with black pepper spice and aniseed. Complex secondary notes of tanned leather which comes from maturation in barrel and time on lees in bottle. Fresh primary fruits of black cherry and dark plum coupled with berry bramble fill the palate. Secondary flavors of pepper spice, aniseed, star anise. A creamy mousse with lingering acidity to keep this wine tasting fresh for any occasion.
An exceptional release of Sparkling Shiraz from our Great Western Vineyards.
Best’s Great Western Sparkling Shiraz was re- introduced at Best’s in 2006 after almost 40 years of absence. The sparkling Shiraz style is synonymous with Great Western and has been made in the region since the early 1900s.
Best’s Sparkling Shiraz epitomises the regional characteristics with plenty of spice and plummy fruit characters. The base wine is left on yeast lees in bottle for 24 months or more and disgorged in the traditional method.
