About Karatta Griffin Sparkling Shiraz NV 750mL
Deep crimson-purple in the glass with a persistent fine bead that lifts aromas of dark plum, blackberry compote, and crushed violets. The nose is richly expressive with hints of dark chocolate and a whisper of smoky cedar. On the palate, this Sparkling Shiraz is lush and generously structured, delivering waves of bramble fruit, black cherry, and mocha, underpinned by a savoury, peppery backbone typical of South Australian Shiraz. The mousse is creamy and well-integrated, lending a plush, velvety texture that carries the wine's fruit weight with elegance. The finish is long and warming, with lingering notes of dark spice and cocoa.
