Peter Rumball Sparkling Shiraz

Christmas dinner and Sparkling Burgundy go together - we've been endeavouring to trace the origin of Sparkling Burgundy in Australia and how it came to be on the Christmas table. Maybe the instant effect of its rich flavours and heady bubbles plays a useful role in dropping inhibitions around Christmas, when relatives meet, sometimes for the first time for the year, and the Sparkling Burgundy offers a quick breakdown of sometimes awkward family barriers. In the meantime the Peter Rumball S.B. is as good as we've come to expect from the King of Sparkling Shiraz. Made from rich ripe Shiraz grapes, this wine has superb blackberry flavours - wonderful sweet fruit and clean finish. One bottle is not enough for the Christmas table, and after Christmas try a bottle of S.B. with Thai food.
