Coates La Petite Cuvee Sparkling Shiraz NV, McLaren Vale/Adelaide Hills

Zero dosage sparkling syrah and quite possibly the best value sparkling red available on the market. A non-vintage blend crafted from predominately French oak matured shiraz from McLaren Vale and the Adelaide Hills, rounded out by small amounts of cabernet of up to five years of age. The inclusion of older base wines were to provide complexity and depth to the palate and aroma.

Deep crimson red in colour with an enthusiastic mousse. Lifted aromas of subtle raspberry and plum cake backed by subtle spices. A rich, velvety palate of forest fruit flavours interwoven with dark earth, cardamom and a hint of toast. The long length of persistence is supported by soft acidity, a hint of sweetness and supple tannins. Vegan-friendly.
