Tasting- Emeri de Bortoli Sparkling Shiraz!

Name:  Emeri de Bortoli
Varietal:  Sparkling Shiraz
Region:  South Eastern Australia
Country:  Australia
Year:  NV
Price:  $9.95

Shop Critic:  A relatively light, fresh style of sparkling Shiraz, with berries and hints of chocolate picking up  just a touch of sweet vanilla on the finish.

My Review:  This wine had a beautiful deep, brick color.  Very fizzy!!  It was a sparkling red wine which you don't see very often but I wish you did!  It was absolutely delicious.  The nose was sweet with intense fruit reminiscent of raspberry syrup or jam.  This medium bodied wine had a sweet flavor that was mellowed out by the bubbles.  It also had some lovely undertones of white chocolate in the finish.  Very drinkable and delicious!  I would definitely come back to this wine again and again.

I drank this wine on its own with no food pairings.
