WOW: Wine and Cheeseburgers?!

WOW: Wine of the Week


Sparkling Shiraz:  Cheeseburger PERFECT Wine!

Black Chook Sparkling Shiraz
There is no denying it now:  Summer is just around the corner.  Warmer temperatures inspire outdoor grilling, impromptu dinner parties with neighbors and inevitably cheeseburgers on the grill!

While some may find that white wines are their varietal(s) of choice for these HOT summer months, red wine drinkers must UNITE!  This is a call to arms for red wine lovers and the grill-masters that Uncorked knows you are!  This is the red wine for you and all of your grilled meat wonders!  The best of both worlds combine for this self-indulged, self-proclaimed bubble-lover:  Red wine AND bubbles?!  What better combination could there be?!  Refreshing and complex, this sparkling Shiraz may just become your new Summer wine staple.  We won't even say "I told you so."

Black Chook Sparkling Shiraz NV Reviews

"Fizzy and fine, the elegant Black Chook Shiraz delivers excellent black fruit flavors that stay focused on the palate; long in the finish with a hint of sweetness"  - 90, Wilford Wong
"Pleasantly soft and spicy, with pretty berry and licorice flavors vying for attention as the fizzy texture flits past." - Wine Spectator

Black Chook Sparkling Shiraz NV Tasting Notes

"This non vintage wine sparkles to the tune of a well-balanced blend; predominantly three-year-old Shiraz, aged in old French oak barrels showing wonderful smooth integrated fruit and a rich weighty texture across the palate. This is blended with a touch of younger vintage Shiraz bringing ripe juicy fruit characters to the finished product. The fruit is sourced from premium Shiraz growing regions including McLaren Vale and Langhorne Creek with the result being a rich, luscious Sparkling Shiraz that is well balanced and destined to compliment pork and turkey or any occasion to celebrate!" - Winery Notes
