Sparkling Shiraz in Australia

Most Australian Sparkling Shiraz is made with the Charmat Methode (fermented in tank) but you can find a better version: a Méthode Champenoise (Traditional Method) Sparkling Shiraz, bottle fermented on the lees with fine bubbles and a creamy palate.

To recognize the quality look for the higher price and the words "fermented in this bottle".
