Winemaking

The base wine of our Sparkling Shiraz is matured in 2nd and 3rd use French oak hogsheads for five months before undergoing secondary fermentation in the bottle. The wine remains on lees for 14 months and, using méthode traditionnelle, the bottles are hand-riddled, then disgorged. A small amount of vintage port is added for extra complexity.
