Bleasdale Vineyards Sparkling Shiraz Nv

Bleasdale Sparkling Shiraz NV is a classic South Australian style, built on a multi-vintage solera that includes components dating back to 1997. Crafted with consistency and refinement in mind, it captures both richness and freshness in a uniquely Australian expression.

The nose is expressive and inviting, with dark berries, black plum and hints of spice layered alongside subtle chocolate and pepper notes. The palate is rich yet balanced, showing juicy red and black fruit with a velvety texture, fine bubbles and silky tannins that give shape and depth.

Despite its generosity, there’s a freshness and tension through the finish, driven by bright acidity and a restrained dosage. Best served lightly chilled, this is a versatile sparkling red that pairs with everything from charcuterie and duck to barbecue dishes.

A true crowd favourite especially around the festive season, it’s a go-to choice for Christmas morning, perfectly suited to celebratory breakfasts and relaxed holiday gatherings.
