Tasting - Emeri de Bortoli Sparkling Shiraz


Name: Emeri de Bortoli Sparkling Shiraz 
Variety: Shiraz 
Region: South East
Country: Australia
Year: N/A
Price: $9.95

Shop Review: A relatively light, fresh style of sparking Shiraz, with berries and hints of chocolate picking up just a touch of sweet vanilla on the finish (Vintage Cellar).

Personal Review: I was very excited to try the Emeri de Bortoli Sparkling Shiraz, because I have never tried a sparkling red wine. The alcohol was very prominent on the nose of this wine, and almost gave me a headache while trying to pick up notes on the nose. However, the palate was much sweeter than I was expecting it to be. I was able to pick up some berry flavors, mainly strawberries. I also really enjoyed the amount of sparkle that it had. It wasn’t so subtle that you didn’t notice it, but wasn’t overpowering either.      

Food: N/A
