Shingleback Sparkling Shiraz Black Bubbles

Sparkling Shiraz is a new wine to me. They don’t usually sell for less than $20 a bottle. I think I paid $19.99 for this wine at my local shop but I did find it online for just under $19. Fortunately it makes the cut for this website.

Sparkling Shiraz isn’t your traditional sparkler but it sure is fun to drink. I had this bottle along with some of my favorite Virginia BBQ from Portlow Brothers. Great combination. You can drink this wine with BBQ or pizza or any other rich casual food.

Now on to the tasting notes. This is a solid wine. It has all the deep colors and flavors of a Australian Shiraz but also has the crisp freshness of a sparkling wine. I had this wine at a slightly chilled temperature and then at a colder temperature and liked it better when it was coldest. I picked up blackberry and deep red fruits on the mouth. It was very supple and smooth.
