Details
Sparkling Shiraz is never for the faint hearted, and this one especially so. Lashings of flavour here - plenty of rich red berries, roasted plum, dark chocolate, espresso and coconut. Made exclusively from Shiraz, this has a rich fruit sweetness balanced by zesty tannins, lively acidity and a sprinkle of seasoned oak.

All Saints Estate is a family-owned winery, established in 1864 and located on the banks of the mighty Murray River in Wahgunyah, in north-east Victoria. One of Australia's oldest wineries, it is filled with historic treasures like ancient barrels and winemaking equipment, and the walls are strewn with medals and trophies from years gone by. Eliza, Angela and Nicholas Brown are the current guardians of this historic icon - three siblings, united by blood and a love of wine. They come from a famous wine family - the Browns - of which their father Peter was one of the original Brown Brothers. So the pull of the vines was always going to be a strong one...today they are proud to be custodians of this land, and excited at the potential in this treasured corner of north-eastern Victoria. Their wines are regionally distinctive, handcrafted and full of character. Not only is there a broad suite of varieties from across their vineyards, but they continually add to the business through the development of a restaurant, wine bar and accomodation. A family business in the very best sense, All Saints is a special part of Australia's vinous history.

Pairing guide
Coming across a seriously delicious sparkling Shiraz is a rare and wonderful thing, and All Saints do a fantastic job of maintaining those dark berry flavours against a backdrop of elegant bubbles. This wine is going to pair brilliantly with wild mushroom dishes, earthy dishes like lamb with olives, hearty dishes of moussaka and stuffed mushrooms, and with fattier meats like pork belly and short ribs. It’s also a superb pairing for charcuterie, and anything which makes great use of capers.

Wine region
Rutherglen, Australia
Rutherglen is located in the North East of Victoria, a region steeped in history and sticky fortifieds! It begins in the early 19th century, a period hallmarked by the gold rush and the nefarious Ned Kelly! It takes a special personality to pioneer a vineyard during this time. Lindsay Brown was one of the first vignerons to do it, planting vines at the Gooramadda Run site around 1851. He’s also responsible for one of the most enduring quotes of the time, saying, ‘dig gentleman dig, but no deeper than six inches, for there is more gold to be won from the top six inches than from all of the depths below.' And with vision, more and more vineyards sprouted throughout Rutherglen; it’s hard to believe only 30 years later, Rutherglen would be considered on the international stage for its luscious Tokay and heart table reds. Many wineries established at this time are still flourishing today, including and not limited to Gehrigs (1859), Chambers Rosewood (1859), Morris (1859), Campbells (1870), Stanton & Killeen (1875). Today the region is known for deep table reds made of Shiraz, Cabernet Sauvignon and Durif, as well as fortified like Muscat and Tokay.
