I just love wines from Austrailia!!This sparkling wine is fantastic.It has a crimson red color that makes the fruity taste even more understated as a shiraz.

Don't be afraid to serve a red wine chilled!There is a few other red wines that are great chilled, but this is the first from Austrailia that passes the test.

As a general rule of thumb, the darker a red wine the younger it is ...
