Overview:
Jip Jip Rocks Sparkling Shiraz NV is a vibrant, full-bodied sparkling wine crafted from the family-owned vineyard in Padthaway Valley. The wine's deep crimson color and fine bead give it a striking appearance, while its well-balanced blend of predominantly 3-year-old Shiraz aged in French oak offers smooth integration and rich texture. A small amount of younger Shiraz adds ripe, juicy fruit flavors that make this wine both complex and approachable.
Tasting Notes:
The wine boasts aromas of plums, blackberry, mocha, and spice, leading into mouthfilling flavors of dark berry fruits with hints of liquorice. It is soft and creamy on the palate, with a persistent finish of cherry, chocolate, and spice that lingers. The wine offers a delightful combination of richness and freshness, with well-integrated fruit and oak. The Jip Jip Rocks Sparkling Shiraz pairs well with a variety of dishes. It complements grilled meats like lamb or steak, as well as roasted pork with a fruit-based sauce. For a more casual pairing, try it with rich cheeses like brie or blue cheese. This sparkling Shiraz also works beautifully with dark chocolate desserts or berry-based sweets.
