Majella Sparkling Shiraz

Majella Sparkling Shiraz –  Sparkling red wines are a great Australian tradition, and Majella has kept this alive with their popular Sparkling Shiraz. A vibrant dark red with a fine bead, it boasts plum, raspberry, and blackberry aromas, a rich, smooth palate, gentle tannins, and a generous finish. Perfect for any occasion!

The grapes come from Coonawarra which lies only 60 miles inland, exposed to a maritime climate, with dry and moderately cool summers. Persistent cloud cover generally moderates the ripening period temperatures. The ‘Terra Rossa’ of Coonawarra is Australia’s most famous soil, renowned for its affinity with Cabernet Sauvignon wines. 

The base wine of their 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.

It’s a great wine for any occasion, and goes well with most food styles particularly game, spicy foods and cured meats. The Aussies call this a breakfast wine. Enjoy now or cellar for up to 10 years to develop further complexity.

Majella Sparkling Shiraz a fabulous example of Australian Sparkling “breakfast” wine

Majella craft some of the finest wines in the country on one of the most revered strips of dirt in the wine world. Winemaker, Bruce Gregory made the very first wine for Majella and has made every one since. Their flagship wine Majella Cabernet Sauvignon has entered Langton’s Classification of Australia’s Best Wines.

Majella Sparkling Shiraz – a great example of this hugely popular Aussie style of wine.

The Peppermint Paddock by d’Arenberg is a Sparkling Red Wine from d’Arenberg. It is a sparkling red-sec Chambourcin blend from McLaren Vale.

The Name – The Peppermint Paddoick

Surrounded by peppermint gums, the block that was replanted in 1989 to Chambourcin from Shiraz which never grew well on that particular site. When the fruit
is picked fully ripe it retains high levels of acidity, an abundance of colour, flavour and tannin – perfect for a sparkling red wine.

The Vintage

This is a non-vintage sparkling wine, indicating specific parcels are selected from a number of vintages to create a consistency
in quality from one cuvee to the next. 

Making The Peppermint Paddock

The base wine is prepared using the time-honoured techniques of open fermenting, foot treading and basket pressing. Addition of liqueur tirage
instigates secondary fermentation and creates bubbles with a unique vibrant purple colour.

The Characteristics of The Peppermint Paddock

As always, this wine is a psychedelic purple colour. Red currant, sugar coated peanuts, minty, and menthol notes. Such a retro wine. A generous, fat mulberry and
boysenberry character on the palate. Lifted and vibrant, with some sweet and some sour notes. A beautiful spritz makes this a great celebration wine. Drink me and enjoy me!

Chambourcin is a complex hybrid red variety bred in 1945. It has high natural acidity which makes it suitable for sparkling wine. This wine is deep purple in colour with lashings of grape berry and sweet spice aromas. Full and fresh in the mouth, its crisp acidity is evident as are plenty of flavour and a clean finish. This is the wine to accompany the Christmas turkey and ham. Perfect red for a hot summer’s day and could easily handle a beef curry for that matter.
