Our Show Sparkling Shiraz is made only in exceptional vintages and the 2012 Seppelt Show Sparkling Shiraz continues the long history and tradition of Seppelt sparkling wines. Aged in bottle on lees for nine years, it was disgorged at exactly the right time to ensure balance and distinction. This wine is ready to drink now and will reward with further careful cellaring.

Nose - Incredibly fragrant and belying its age. Lifted black cherry and dark chocolate marries seamlessly with regional white pepper and spice to create a layered and enticing nose.

Palate - Complex, balanced and exceptionally flavoursome. Rich black cherry and blackberry fruit works alongside woven cocoa powder tannins to create a long, fine and persistent palate. Complexity is further driven by dark chocolate notes, savoury spice, fresh leather, flint and red currant. This is a benchmark example of an iconic Australian wine.

Maturation - Whole berry fermentation in small open fermenters was followed by 14 months maturation in seasoned French oak barrique (225 L). Produced by Méthode Traditionelle, this wine has spent 9 years aging in bottle on lees followed by individual bottle disgorgement.
