Sittella Sparkling Shiraz

Bold ~ Fruity ~ Rich

A true Swan Valley original and a classic Australian sparkling red. This fruit driven, robust style of sparkling Shiraz is a festive favourite, perfect with turkey, rich fruit cake or blue cheese, and just as welcome in the depths of winter in front of the heater. Rich, bold and layered with dark berries, plum, sweet spice and a touch of chocolate, it is a red wine with bubbles and personality to match. That little touch of sugar gives the wine beautiful balance, softening its dry fruit core and rounding out the mouthfeel. With a dosage of around 12 g/L it still sits firmly on the dry side, just smoothing the edges rather than turning it into a sweet style.

Why You Will Love It

🔹 Versatile pairing – Brilliant with both sweet and savoury festive fare, from glazed ham and turkey to Christmas pudding and cheese.

🔹 Made for celebration – A go to wine for Christmas, long lunches, winter feasts or any occasion that needs a bit of sparkle.

🔹 Matured for complexity – Extended time on lees for extra creaminess, texture and finesse in the glass.

Tasting Notes

Colour: Deep dark plum red with a fine, persistent bead.
Aromatics: Sweet-scented layers of dark chocolate, plum jam, cassis and stewed blueberry, with subtle cinnamon and dried fruit notes.
Palate: Velvety and rich, yet refined. A creamy mousse leads to plush dark fruit, soft tannins and hints of spice. Moderate acidity and sweetness give it a lush, moreish character with excellent length.
Finish: Lush, smooth and lingering with a fine sparkle and warming fruit.

Winemaker’s Note

“This is a festive, proudly Australian wine style. We embrace the generosity of Shiraz with time on lees to bring roundness and elegance. It’s both structured and fruit-forward – a perfect balance of tradition and fun.”

Sustainability

Sourced entirely from Swan Valley Shiraz, this sparkling red is made using the traditional method with 2 years on lees. Minimal intervention ensures pure varietal expression and silky texture while showcasing the regional character of WA’s historic Swan Valley.

Storage & Serving Tips

Serving Temperature: Chill to 8–10°C to preserve freshness and bubbles.
Storage: Store in a cool, dark place. Best enjoyed young, but will hold for several years.
Glassware: A large tulip glass will highlight aromatics and texture.
Opening Tip: Open gently to preserve mousse; decanting not necessary.
