Description
"Big, fat, sweet, juicy oaky and persistent palate! Very nice aged fruit cake and liquorice character. 'Very nice indeed,' said the judges" (Winestate Magazine tasting).
Made from the Scarpantoni's renowned 'Block 3' Shiraz and packed with richly juicy black fruit flavours and lots of bubbles. With just three releases since 1996 and only 1000 cases at a time - you'll have to be double-quick!
"Strong liquorice and dark chocolate aromas and flavours; mercifully not too sweet, the Achilles heel of many sparkling shirazes" (Australian Wine Companion).
Originally from central Italy's Abruzzi region, Domenico Scarpantoni immigrated to Australia in 1952 and, after experience at Thomas Hardy, set up the now hugely successful Scarpantoni Wines - over 300 medals and more than a dozen trophies in national wine shows ... and counting!
"...the quality of its young wines is absolutely outstanding. Nor are these wines any flash in the pan: prior tastings have also unearthed some excellent wines" (top Aussie wine critic James Halliday).
The winery is very much a family business with every step of production, from viticulture to the packaged product done entirely on the premises.
