2021 Majella Sparkling Shiraz

Majella has been on Fine Wine Delivery's radar for a few years, as is the Coonawarra wine region renowned for affordable world class Cabernets and Shiraz. Coming from the superb 2021 Coonawarra vintage, the fruit for this outstanding Sparkling Shiraz was hand-picked and fermented in a mixture of 4-5-year-old barrels to promote texture and complexity. Secondary fermentation then took place in bottle with extended aging on lees to further build texture, richness and finesse the bubbles. The Poole family are unabashed devotees of fine Sparkling Shiraz, and this 2021 Majella strikes a beautiful balance between flavour and finesse. Classic Shiraz plum and berry fruit with typical Coonawarra spice culminating in a raspberry, vanilla, and chocolate infused finish. So versatile with meat and savoury dishes, but equally suited to chocolate inspired desserts, plum pudding, dried fruits and nuts, or just enjoyed chilled in a flute while nibbling on quality dark chocolate Whittaker's or Lindt whatever your pleasure. Don't overchill you can start and end an evening with it. A Shiraz table wine and a Methode bubbly all in one. It has considerable aging ability through 2030 but is delicious at any stage of its journey. I've never seen anyone turn up their nose after drinking quality Sparkling Shiraz and I've served it to thousands of people. I'm excited we secured it and have put a case in our cellar, a few bottles will grace the family Christmas table.
