Sparkling Wine

Sparkling red is one of the only wine styles in the world that Australia can claim as its own. Shiraz is by far the most widely used variety to make Sparkling red in Australia, although we are starting to see Sparkling reds made from Cabernet Sauvignon, Merlot and Durif. The wines are typically very ripe and rely on rich fruit character usually combined with a degree of sweetness to achieve their impact.
