A refreshing Sparkling Merlot from Coonawarra that puts a unique twist on Australia’s beloved sparkling red wine tradition.
This Sparkling Merlot 2022 puts a unique twist on Australia’s beloved sparkling red wine tradition. Made from 100% Merlot grapes grown in the famed terra rossa soils of Coonawarra, it continues a legacy of producing vibrant, celebratory wines that are perfect for any occasion. Since its first release in 1992, this Sparkling Merlot has gained a reputation for its lively fruit flavours and soft, luscious structure.
The 2022 vintage saw excellent growing conditions, yielding high-quality fruit that translated into a bright, cherry red wine with fine, persistent bubbles. Primary fermentation in stainless steel and a secondary fermentation in a pressure vessel resulted in a wine that bursts with fresh cranberries, raspberries, and a hint of vanilla. With a refreshing bead and a lingering finish of raspberry, vanilla cola and currant, this wine is perfect to enjoy chilled as an aperitif with friends and family.

Nick Bulleid, Master of Wine, Aug 2023. "Christmas is coming! There are really delicious red fruits here – raspberry and cherry – with bottle-age beginning to add complexity. A nice cut of tannin keeping the finish fresh. This is the drink to match both turkey and ham. Don’t chill it too much."
