Fruit Sourcing

North East Victoria

Sparkling Reds, with their exotic spices, rich red fruits and beautiful bubbles deliver an explosion of flavour that is so uniquely Australian. Served cold, they are the perfect combination to an Australian Christmas lunch, a summer barbeque or a delicious roast lamb in the middle of winter.

The Shiraz base wine was matured in 2 and 3 year old French oak barriques for six months. The wine then blended together in tank, fined and clarified for tirage (where a secondary fermentation is started in tank, and the fermenting wine is bottled, creating the “pfizz”).

The wine is disgorged on demand (where the yeast lees are removed from the bottle, and a dosage liqueur is added to top the wine), to ensure freshness. We have chosen to use our 2015 Pfeiffer Christopher’s VP as the dosage liqueur, adding further complexity to the wine.

Our Pfeiffer Pfizz Red Sparkling Shiraz exhibits a lovely nose of mixed berries and spice. The palate is richly flavoured, with red berry fruit, balanced by long tannins. We have chosen a crown seal as the closure for this wine to optimise flavour and freshness.
