A deep purple hue with fine, elegant bubbles. Aromas of red plum, forest berries and raspberry liquorice lead into a vibrant palate of blackberry jam, ripe strawberry and bramble leaf, layered with baking spice and cinnamon shortcake. Long, generous and textural on the finish.

Sourced from estate vineyards across the Adelaide Hills, blending 12 Shiraz clones for complexity. Wild yeast fermented and matured in large format French oak for 18 months prior to secondary fermentation, building depth, integration and structure.

Cool-climate Adelaide Hills fruit provides natural acidity to balance richness, supporting vibrancy, structure and freshness in a fuller-bodied sparkling style.

93/100 points | Tony Love, Wine Pilot
"A blending masterwork here: multi-vintage to start with, harvested across Sidewood’s several Hills vineyards, and incorporating 12 separate clones of Shiraz. Matured for 18 months in large oak vessels before secondary fermentation, the result is lush yet not overtly sweet, berry fruits of the forest flavours mostly, some plum richness as well, all in a swirl courtesy of its soft aeration, back notes of cinnamon biscuits lying in wait between sips. Lots to appreciate here as a Sparkling Shiraz that encourages a second glass without scaring your inner dietician!"
