Steller’s Jay Sparkling Shiraz

Steller’s Jay Sparkling Shiraz VQA NV Okanagan $26.00-30.00

And now for something totally different! A sparkling Shiraz (red) made using the traditional “Methode Classique” with the secondary fermentation in the bottle. Deep red with a tight bead (bubbles), a pinkish mousse (froth) and black cherry and spice aromas! Stellar’s Jay is fairly dry with ripe strawberry and blackberry flavours and silky tannins, which coat the palate. Sounds weird tastes great.
