The Black Chook Sparkling Shiraz was not as good as the Loose End Sparkling that I've reviewed previously. It seemed flat and one-dimensional by comparison.

What a nice surprise! We got this bottle as a Christmas gift and thought... 'interesting, a sparkling red.' This wine is bursting with different fruit flavors from start to finish, without being overpowering, and the carbonation adds just the right touch. We served it chilled. Yum! This wine would make a great unique gift!

Wine of the night at a recent sparklers tasting. We paired it with some dark chocolate for dessert which was spectacular. It's a really deep dark and flavorful wine that is surprisingly refreshing compared to it's non-sparkling brethren. I'd recommend as a BBQ wine slightly chilled on a summer afternoon - people will flip for it!

Really nice for a cookout. Light, crispy red you can chill and drink in the summer.

I normally shy away from sparkling wines, but this was an interesting surprise. Very delicious, a bit of berry but not sweet and very smooth. It was the perfect "something different" that I was looking for.

Australian version of an Emilian Lambrusco. Fresh raspberries with hints of rosemary and nougat (kinda like a Mars bar) on the nose. Not too fruity, it has a distinctive character. Very well built and extremely enjoyable, a real surprise.
