Four Secrets Sparkling Shiraz NV

The Four Secrets Shiraz Sparkling has red berry, vanilla and black pepper flavours to excite the nose. Well considered barrel maturation balances the upfront fruit flavours and the palate follows through with a lingering finish of berries, spice and beautifully integrated oak.

The Four Secrets Sparkling possesses some sweetness and a fine mousse, making it ideal for almost any cheese or dessert pairing.
