Majella Sparkling Shiraz 2023
Majella Sparkling Shiraz is one of Australia's finest sparkling reds, from one of Coonawarra's most acclaimed wineries and a benchmark producer on the world-famous terra rossa soils. Owner Brian ‘Prof’ Lynn describes himself as the humble custodian of these exceptional vineyards, while winemaker Bruce Gregory's skill and precision have cemented Majella's reputation for quality — from their cult-status Sparkling Shiraz to their Langton's-classified Cabernet. Full-flavoured yet balanced, with bright fruit layered with vanilla oak, cinnamon, and pepper spice, alongside savoury notes of yeasty brioche, and finished with a small dosage that includes a touch of vintage port in true Australian style. Why You'll Love It This is Majella Sparkling Shiraz, one of Australia's most celebrated sparkling reds and a wine with genuine cult status. Majella is regarded as a benchmark Coonawarra producer, with vineyards planted on the region's famous terra rossa soil — considered Australia's greatest for Shiraz and Cabernet Sauvignon. Coonawarra lies just 60 miles inland, shaped by a maritime climate that brings dry, moderately cool summers and persistent cloud cover, moderating ripening temperatures and producing fruit of exceptional quality and concentration. Primary fermentation takes place in 10-tonne stainless steel static fermenters with twice-daily pump-overs, before finishing in hogsheads. Secondary fermentation occurs in bottle, where the wine rests on its lees for almost 12 months, developing complexity and a fine bead. It is then disgorged and given a small dosage including a touch of vintage port — a distinctly Australian touch that adds richness and depth. Sustainability lies at the core of every stage of production. This is Australian sparkling red wine with character, complexity, and genuine occasion. Vineyard & Winemaking Produced by Majella in Coonawarra, South Australia. Terra rossa soils over limestone in a maritime-influenced cool climate. Primary fermentation in 10
Mas de Daumas Gassac, Rosé Frizant 2024
The Mas de Daumas Gassac Rosé Frizant 2024 is pure southern French charm in a glass - bright, playful, and effortlessly refreshing. A true sparkling rosé, it dances with fine, lively bubbles and bursts of red berry fruit, peach, and a touch of citrus zest. With its gentle fizz and low alcohol, it’s dangerously easy to enjoy. Mas de Daumas Gassac, often called 'the Lafite of the Languedoc', has been in the Guibert family for over forty years. Their 50 hectares of pristine, chemical-free vineyards sit in a wild, beautiful valley near Saint-Guilhem-le-Désert, and every wine they make reflects that sense of place.
