There’s something unmistakably Australian about a good Sparkling Shiraz, and few do it better than Bleasdale. This NV release captures all the joyous, festive energy the style is known for — rich dark berry fruit, lifted spice, a touch of chocolate and savoury depth, all wrapped in a lively mousse and fine bead. Made from premium Langhorne Creek Shiraz and matured for extra complexity before secondary fermentation, it’s both indulgent and refreshingly drinkable.

Critics have consistently praised this wine for its balance and authenticity. Tony Love (Winepilot) awarded it 93 points, calling it “a celebration of style and substance… plush fruit, smooth texture and lingering spice make it a joy to drink.” The Halliday Wine Companion likewise describes it as “generous yet fresh — a true crowd-pleaser that delivers far more than its modest price suggests.” Whether it’s poured chilled at a barbecue or paired with roast turkey at Christmas, Bleasdale Sparkling Shiraz NV is a uniquely Australian classic that never fails to impress.
