One of Australia's best sparkling red wines. Full flavoured with a subtle balance of fruit and vanilla wood, hints of spice cinnamon and pepper with a presence of yeasty bread characteristics with soft acid balance to finish the palate.
Sparkling reds are something of an Australian tradition and Majella have certainly played their part in that over the years with this delicious wine. Grown in Coonawarra, the base wine is matured in used French oak hogsheads for five months before being bottled for secondary fermentation in the 'methode traditionelle', the same method as champagne. It's full of attractive fresh plum, raspberry and blackberry aromas and flavours, with a hint of spice. Smooth, balanced and luscious on the palate, it has nicely gentle tannins and a long and generous finish.
