Elgins Crossing remembers vigneron John Riddochs voyage aboard the sailing ship Lady Elgin in 1851. Riddoch became an influential figure, establishing the Coonawarra Fruit Colony.This buoyant Coonawarra Sparkling Shiraz is typified by ample blackberry, mulberry, dark chocolate aromas and flavours, seductive panforte, smooth velvety textures, savoury spice and fine persistent bubbles. Delicious as an aperitif or with food. Serve chilled.

The Balnaves Coonawarra Vineyard was established in 1975 and is situated at the southern end of the Coonawarra Terra Rossa strip. The Balnaves family arrived in the region in 1855 from Paisley, Scotland and opened their first general store in Penola in 1858.Balnaves have used Cabernet Sauvignon grapes to make this modern Sparkling red. This wine is a blend of complex and elegant parcels from ten vintages of reserve wines, matured in a solera system.Rich and complex with cassis, blackberry and violet, combined with mature Coonawarra Cabernet characters of chocolate, leather and truffle. Ready to drink on release, this wine will gain complexity and softness with careful cellaring.

Merlot lends itself beautifully here to sparkling red made by the Di Giorgio family. Using fruit sourced from the Limestone Coast , this sparkling Merlot displays wonderful ripe, rounded characters of plum and blueberry to give a luscious almost sweet-fruited feel, yet pulls back ever so nicely to finish dry and more-ish.

Blanc de Blancs typically express elegance and this wine is no exception. The palate is brisk and fresh, light brioche notes supporting an austere chalk driven mineral structure with a lively citrus texture.

Peter Rumball has been a constant in the world of great quality Australian Sparkling Shiraz. Made from 100% Coonawarra fruit, this is an elegant, but full-bodied style of sparkling with rich Shiraz fruit flavours. An absolute favourite during the festive times of the year.

An easy drinking traditional sparkling blend of Pinot Noir and Chardonnay offering spicy fruit and freshly baked bread characters amid a pool of strawberry bubbles. Soft and approachable, with ample strawberry and cream flavours. Some yeasty complexity on the palate, which finishes with a hint of fruit sweetness. A wine that will bring any occasion to life.

Light pale straw in colour with a persistent effervescent bead. Deliciously clean, aromatic nose with a touch of peach and a dash of attractive yeast complex. An elegant soft fruit palate in a drier style, and finishing with a clean acid finish. The wine has an excellent persistent mousse and velvety creaminess. Enjoy this wine as an aperitif, or at any time of the day when a few bubbles will augment the joy of life!
