Wine Tasting: Emeri de Bortoli

Name: Emeri de Bortoli
Variety:  Sparkling Shiraz
Region:
Southeastern

Country: Australia
Year:
NV

 $9.95


Winery Review: A relatively light, fresh style of sparkling Shiraz, with berries and hints of chocolate picking up just a touch of sweet vanilla on the finish
.  - Vintage Cellar 3/28/2013

My Review: 
Very interesting combination of the warm, syrupy, cranberry fruitiness of a Shiraz with a sparking edge.  The best part about this wine was the carbonation, it was extremely stimulating on the tongue.  I'm not sure how I felt about the combination in this wine, it felt like something much-needed was missing to round it off.
 
Food: I did not try this wine with food.
