Peter Lehmann's Black Queen Sparkling Shiraz is a distinctively Australian wine that embraces the bold Barbossa Valley terroir. Combining robust Shiraz grapes with sparkling fermentation, this wine represents audacious elegance. Its extravagant combination of rich, dark fruits enlaced with chocolate, liquorice and plush tannins creates a complex, full-bodied profile. Exceptionally, the tiny bubbles waltzing through the glossy, deep ruby liquid bestow a delicate effervescence. This premium quality sparkling Shiraz is delightful to the nose and explosive on the palate, resulting in a mesmerising sensory trip. Ideal for festive gatherings, Black Queen Sparkling Shiraz pairs delightfully with hearty, savoury dishes.

Tasting Notes

Bright red with a dense black core, this wine has concentrated aromas of plum, blackberry and dark chocolate with a hint of fennel. The palate is quintessentially 'Black Queen', with a gentle mousse, naturally low in tannins, soft and abundant in rich blue fruit flavours and a Christmas cake finish. Best enjoyed now, however, will comfortably develop further in the cellar for a further 10-12 years.
