WINE DESCRIPTION
This Sparkling Shiraz is made by Paringa who established their brand in 1999. The name “Paringa” reflects a partnership with nature; it derives from the local Aboriginal language for “place at the river”. Farming one of the driest continents on earth, water and rivers have always been a major player in the vineyards. The wine is fermented in stainless steel to retain the varietal character of Shiraz and purity of fruit. Carbon dioxide is capture to give the wine an attractive effervescence which lifts the ripe, black fruit and spicy aromas.
NOTES FROM VINOVOSS SOMMELIER
Paringa Sparkling Shiraz offers a captivating nose of ripe blackberry, dark cherries and plums, with a hint of spice.On the palate, it is fresh with a round texture with balanced and lively mousse supported by flavors of dark fruit and a hint of mocha. The finish is fruity and fresh, with a focus on ripe dark cherries and blackberries and underlying spiciness.
