South Eastern Australia, AustraliaIt's easy to see why this style of sparkling is so popular in Australia at Christmas time. Look for black cherry fruit with bits of plums, liquorice and vanilla. The palate is fresh and rich and it should easily subdue a turkey and all the trimmings. Despite a sweetish entry it finishes reasonably clean and dry. Tasted: 12 December 2008Tasted by: Prices:
South Eastern Australia, AustraliaIntense black cherry colour with plenty of persisitent red/black mousse. Licorice, black cherry, vanilla, spicy aromas. Rich, fresh palate with black cherry, peppery, licorice, cola, spicy flavours with a bit of tannin and plum on the finish. Somewhat sweet, full style for food. A novelty for sure but it has its fans.Tasted: 24 July 2007Tasted by: Prices:
