Tasting - Emeri Sparkling Shiraz


Name: Emeri de Bortoli

Variety: Sparkling Shiraz

Region: South East Australia

Country: Australia

Year: N/A

Price: $9.95

Vintage Cellar's notes: 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.

This was an interesting wine. I had never had a sparkling red wine before this one. It was like a more full bodied champagne. It was pleasantly crisp, and not overly sweet. Tasted very fruity, like maybe cherries and strawberries. Also tasted flowery, and light. It made me think of sweet red grape juice cut with a little bit of sprite. Quite an enjoyable wine.
