Tasting - Emeri de Bortoli

Name: Emeri de Bortoli
Variety: Sparkling Shiraz
Region: South Eastern Australia
Country: Australia
Year: N/A
Price: $9.95

The Vintage Cellar's Review: "A relatively light, fresh style of Shiraz, with berries and hints of chocolate picking up just a touch of sweet vanilla on the finish."

My Review: This wine didn't have much of a bouquet, but the effervescence was immediately apparent on the nose. It was hardly acidic on the palate, and very sweet. It tasted like raspberry soda. The sweet berry essence paired with the bubbles was a delicious treat, but not something for those looking for a complex, dynamic wine.

This wine was tasted without food, but I am tempted to try it with chocolate or angel food cake.
