Deep garnet-purple colored, the NV Shingleback Black Bubbles Sparkling Shiraz displays aromas of tar, earth, warm blackberries and black cherries plus a whiff of star anise. Medium to full-bodied and fully sparkling with medium sized bubbles of good persistence, it has a light to medium level of chewy tannins, medium sweetness (21.5 g/l) and lively acid, finishing long, with lingering chocolate and licorice notes.
