Sparkling Shiraz – The Pizza Wine

Not many of you would like to taste a Sparkling Shiraz at the first sight. It looks like a normal, fizzy, dark red juice. Also, Sparkling Shiraz was considered to be cheap and irksome in Australia, a sweet wine not drunk by sophisticated wine enthusiasts. But this was not always the case. Up until the 1970s, Sparkling Shiraz wine was quite popular as a bubbly and dry wine that was magnificently crafted for wine - lovers to enjoy. In fact, the wine was loved so much by wine - enthusiasts that it was duplicated, sweetened and mass - produced to be marketed to the consumers who had no choice but to gulp down extra - sweet Rieslings.

However, Sparkling Shiraz had degraded and gone out of commission until a few years back, after which it got magically reincarnated. Very recently, it has gained a lot of popularity once more and is being manufactured and sold at its best. Wine - enthusiasts, experienced or otherwise are simply loving it!

There is a lot more to a Sparkling Shiraz than just its appearance. It has lovely aromas of cherry and blackcurrant that instantly appeal to a person’s nose. Also, just as you take the first sip of this wine, it leaves you completely mesmerized! There is just the right amount of sweetness in the wine, which gets coupled with the delicious flavours of blackcurrant, raspberry and blackberry in the wine. The fizz and bubbles of the wine cut through the fat of the wine and create such an interesting flavour in the drinker’s mouth that it truly feels like a small taste of heaven. The fruity and intense berry flavours gel perfectly well with the savoury taste of a pizza, making Sparkling wine the perfect pizza wine. The wine tastes best when served chilled with a hot yummy pizza. Go get your taste of heaven now!
