Seppelt Original Sparkling Shiraz
Rich, full and generous in the mouth with a long fluffy textured finish.
Seppelt has a rich history dating back to the 1890’s, being a global pioneer of the uniquely Australian wine style, Sparkling Shiraz. Although precise records are scarce, it is believed that Charles Pierlot, working at Hans Irvine’s Cellars (which became Seppelt in 1918), experimented with producing some of Australia’s earliest ‘Sparkling Burgundy’ wines in 1892.
An amply endowed dark red tinged mousse sits atop a midnight black dark red tinged core that has a very fine and nimble stream of bubbles flowing through it. Pronounced aromas of dark plum, liquorice and dark chocolate flood the olfactory senses followed by some vanillin oak and earthy mocha notes. Mouth filling ripe blackberry, liquorice and dark plum fruits engulf the palate with notions of dark chocolate, vanillin oak and subtle earth extending across the back half. Concentrated and voluminous it has a long fluffy textured finish.
