After much anticipation, this is the debut of the Black Chook
Sparkling Shiraz!! With her Black Chook counterpart 2004
Shiraz Viognier currently taking firm hold in Australian markets
it is with excitement that the Sparkling Shiraz is introduced to
the Black Chook range.
As the bigger sibling of Woop Woop, the Black Chook
once again represents a collaboration between Ben Riggs,
winemaker at Penny’s Hill, and Tony Parkinson, proprietor of
Penny’s Hill.
This non vintage wine sparkles to the tune of a well
balanced blend; predominantly 3 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!!
