Peregrine Ridge Sparkling Shiraz NV

This wine is aged for 12-15 months in seasoned and new French and American oak barrels, depending on the vintages used in the cuvee, before being bottle fermented for another 16-30 months. The wine is normally disgorged three times: the first after around 16-18 months on lees, the second after about 24 months, and the last after 30 months. This allows the blend to completely develop its bottle fermentation characteristics while still being able to meet demand. This is a medium-bodied wine that should be served cold. The smell often has sweet plums and cherries with spicy undertones, while the taste features powerful spicy plums, cherries, and sweet berries. This wine style is finely balanced and has a delicate, velvety texture. This wine style is nicely balanced and has a gentle, lingering finish, making it ideal for enjoying young and medium-term cellaring.
