Paringa Sparkling Shiraz has a saturated deep burgundy color with a crimson hue and an abundance of aromas that include fresh black current preserves, with dark strawberry and blackberry jam that are surrounded by underlying hints of butterscotch, menthol and spice. The palate is lively, refreshing and medium-bodied, comprising of sweet berry fruits, ripe plums and cassis, with hints of chocolate, molasses, caraway seed and fennel. The origin of the "fizz" has ensured that the grape’s fresh, fruity character has been retained through to the finished wine. There is a perlage of fine bubbles that lifts the fruit and spice characters, ending with an attractive, long finish.
