Tasting - Emeri de Bortoli Sparkling Shiraz



Name:  Emeri de Bortoli
Variety:  Sparkling Shiraz
Region:  South Eastern
Country:  Australia
Year:  NV
Price: $9.95
Tasting Date and Location: 28 March 2013 at Vintage Cellar

Winery review:  A relatively light, fresh style of sparkling Shiraz, with berries and hints of chocolate picking up just a touch of sweet vanilla on the finish.

My review:  On the nose, there are nice raspberry aromas and a hint of chocolate.  I've never heard of or tasted a sparkling shiraz but not surprisingly, it tasted like champagne.  It was sweet on the mid-palette and overall very refreshing.


I tasted this on its own with no food.
