Let's face it; everyone knows that I am a Fizzy Red Shit slut and adore good Sparkling Shiraz, so when Emma offered to open a bottle of the Seppelt 2004 Show Reserve Sparkling Shiraz VicFeb08,  I didn't have to strain any brain cells before I said “Yes please”. Recently the winery wanted to check on its progress so they hand-disgorged a few bottles and we were lucky enough to be there at the right time. The wine will be released in 2010. The wonderful fruit delivers mulberry/blueberry, chocolate, spice and musk flavours. It's medium-weight with a supple consistency, a layered structure and harmonious complexity. This wine is worth hanging out for and just needs a bit of time. Rated as Excellent.
