This Sparkling Shiraz was named after Francois Coueslant, winemaker and manager in the very early days of Tahbilk (1877 - 1886). A gentleman of 'progressive' ideas that led to a 'Golden Age' at Tahbilk. Now, we at Fine Wine Delivery have sampled quite a few Sparkling Shiraz in our time, we keep a close eye out for them, looking for superb quality and value for our customers. So when we saw this sample come through our door we were quite excited (to state it mildly). More importantly we were thoroughly blown away by the intensity and absolute quality of the wine! We have secured the only stock available in New Zealand and are delighted to offer it to you!

Dark fruit abounds, plum and blackberry with anise and five spice.

A rich palate choc-a-block with character that makes a good Aussie Sparkling Shiraz. Plum, blackberry, blueberry meld perfectly with coffee and spice, all rounded out by a yeast lees creaminess. The mousse is persistent and finish long and dry (well dry for a Sparkling Shiraz). Drink now, but it would become a very interesting cellar project up until 2025+. Serve chilled in a Champagne flute and enjoy with a wide variety of tasty cheeses, red meats, duck, game, chocolate desserts, traditional plum duff, dried fruits and nuts, or just by itself.
