Named after the legendary Queen of Sheba—“I am black and beautiful,” she declares in the Book of Solomon—The Black Queen is Peter Lehmann’s homage to richness, mystery, and majesty. This limited-release Sparkling Shiraz is made from low-yielding, old vine Barossa Shiraz, delivering intense flavour and indulgent complexity. After 12 months in seasoned French oak hogsheads, the wine undergoes bottle fermentation and two years on lees, adding layers of creamy texture and luxurious depth. The result? A deeply coloured, full-bodied sparkling red with notes of dark cherry, plum, spice and subtle mocha, lifted by fine bubbles and a savoury finish. Bold, opulent, and uniquely Australian, The Black Queen is a must-try, especially around the holidays. Whether served with roast meats, glazed ham, or rich chocolate desserts, it’s a celebration in every glass. Once tasted, you’ll understand why so many are already hooked.

Deep black cherry, chocolate, mocha aromas with hints of spice and vanilla.

Beautifully integrated, the intense layers of black plums, cherries, bitter chocolate and spices marry together in the creamy, mellow texture. Finely beaded bubbles, seductive rich fruit core and a refined, warming finish; this is a special journey. Amazing with Turkey and all the trimmings. The recommended serving temperature is 8-10 degrees.
