Tasting Notes

Appearance

Skillogalee Sparkling Shiraz NV displays a deep ruby-red colour with vibrant crimson highlights and a persistent fine bead of bubbles rising through the glass. The wine's rich, jewel-like appearance hints at the concentration of old-vine fruit and the indulgent character within, creating a visually striking expression of this distinctive Australian sparkling style.

Aroma

The nose offers enticing aromas of ripe blackberry and plum, lifted by gentle spice notes that add complexity and intrigue. Subtle hints of dark cherry and mulberry emerge alongside whispers of cinnamon and clove, creating an inviting aromatic profile. This sophisticated bouquet speaks to the richness of estate-grown Clare Valley Shiraz and the careful selection of cuvées that ensure consistency and balance in this non-vintage blend.

Palate

On the palate, this sparkling Shiraz reveals layers of dark fruit character supported by firm yet silky tannins that provide structure and depth. A creamy mousse and fine bead add elegance and textural complexity throughout. Bright acidity balances the wine's natural richness, whilst a touch of sweetness (21 g/L residual sugar) rounds the finish beautifully. The wine displays both indulgence and freshness, with the combination of old-vine fruit intensity and sparkling winemaking techniques creating a style that is equally at home alongside hearty dishes or shared in moments of celebration.

Pairs With

This versatile sparkling Shiraz pairs beautifully with roast turkey, glazed ham, barbecued lamb, beef Wellington, mushroom risotto, aged cheddar, blue cheese, chocolate desserts, and festive celebrations.
