Patritti Blewitt Springs Estate Sparkling Shiraz NV

The Blewitt Springs Estate label was created as a tribute to the first Patritti vineyard purchased and planted in the McLaren Vale region, the Blewitt Springs Vineyard. It’s fruit has been the mainstay of Patritti table wines for over five decades. Similarly, this range provides wines of ever-reliable quality and excellent value for money.

REGION

McLaren Vale enjoys a reputation for producing high quality Shiraz and Grenache along with some alternative varietals from Italy and Spain. Elevation peaks at 350 metres along the Sellicks foothills with these vineyards influenced by the cooler gully winds making them ideal for white wine and cooler climate varieties. Majority of vineyards are located on gently undulating land with strong coastal influences. The Mediterranean climate is characterised by moderate winters, warm summers and predictable winter rainfall.

TASTING COMMENTS

This premium sparkling wine is an alluring dark garnet colour. The bouquet is red fruits, blackcurrant and fruit pastilles with vanillin oak adding complexity. A fresh and vibrant palate of raspberry and blackcurrant with a toasty undertone is supported by a fine persistent bead before a refreshingly dry finish.
