Description:
Sparkling red wines are a great Australian tradition, and along with other wineries Majella has kept the tradition alive with its very popular sparkling Shiraz. The Shiraz is barrel fermented for six months in American oak and then the wine then undertakes a secondary fermentation in the true 'methode champenoise'. After twelve months on 'lees', the wine is disgorged and a small amount of 'liquer' is added. In the true Aussie tradition some vintage port is used to do this. Limited Availability. (12 x 75 cl)

Balnaves of Coonawarra SPARKLING NV Cabernet Sauvignon South Australia
Description: Rich and complex with blackcurrant, blackberry and sweet earth mature Coonawarra Cabernet characters, this wine is ready to drink on release, however it will gain complexity and softness with careful cellaring. Drink very cold during summer as a refreshing start to any meal. Produced by Balnaves since 1992 this wine is made in the traditional style of AustralianSparkling Burgundies although most of these are made with Shiraz. Balnaves have chosen Cabernet Sauvignon grapes to make this modern sparkling burgundy as we believe Cabernet Sauvignon, of all the grapes grown in Coonawarra, shows the most character and consistency.The base blend was put together and matured in well seasoned French oak for 12 months and then tiraged in July . The wine was again matured in bottles on yeast lees for 19 months to gain softness and complexity followed by disgorging in February . Mature vintage port and concentrated grape juice was used to sweeten the final wine, . (6 x 75 cl) Price: £118.34

Two Hands BRILLIANT DISGUISE Moscato Frizzante Barossa Valley
Description: The 'two hands' are Michael Twelftree and Richard Mintz who formed the company in 1999 with the clear objective of making the best possible Shiraz based wines from prized Shiraz producing regions within Australia. Michael Twelftree, initially from a construction background, spent a number of years exporting Australian Wine to the USA and Asia. Richard Mintz a chartered accountant, was formerly C.E.O. of one of Australia's leading Cooperage's in the Barossa Valley, South Australia. With Twelftree's contacts and wine savvy approach and Mintz's management skills and business acumen, the two old friends decided to make some wine together. In 2000 they started with just 17 tonnes of fruit from the McLaren Vale and Padthaway wine regions. From the beginning the wines were very well received at home and abroad with a healthy stream of reviews culminating in 2004 with Robert M. Parker pronouncing Two Hands as 'the finest negociant operation south of the equator'. This wine is made from 100% Muscat Blanc or as it is known locally White Frontignac, and is sourced from 80 and 100 year old vines which has given the wine greater depth. Pale straw colour with delicious aromas of guava and an aromatic grapey musk perfume, give way to a light bodied delicate palate. Also evident is a gentle sweetness balanced by refreshing acidity, exotic fruit flavours and a lively spritz. (12 x 50 cl) Price: £102.38
