Barossa Valley Sparkling Wines
Sparkling wines scream out for celebration, but they equally play a role on the dinner table. Try it in white or red and turn any occasion into a celebration.

Our first 3 disgorgements of our sparkling shiraz were based predominantly on 2004 and 2005 shiraz from our property. But having exhausted those stocks, Andrew and I have been accumulating components since the 2016 vintage. With the blend completed in early 2023, the process for the next release could begin. After leaving this to integrate, we used traditional winemaking techniques to create our Sparkling Shiraz in a relative dry style (compared to traditional sparkling reds) with the addition of a little 2021 Hayes Family Wines Fortified Shiraz to add something special.
The NV Sparkling Shiraz (Edition IV) was disgorged in October 2025. Like many of the best Sparkling Shiraz, it shows great complexity on release, a red wine first, a sparkling second, drinking beautifully now, but sure to improve with some time in the cellar.
Our bottle fermented Blanc de Noirs is made from 100% Adelaide Hills Pinot Noir grapes (and hence the name Blanc de Noirs). The Pinot Noir we source for this wine comes from the old Seppelts Partalunga Vineyard in the Adelaide Hills. This vineyard produces extraordinary fruit that not only has wonderful flavours for still red pinot noir, but when picked early retains its natural acidity which is a hallmark of great Sparkling wines.
The new release 2022 Blanc de Noirs was disgorged in October 2024. This disgorgement is extraordinarily fresh and just jumps out of the glass. Slightly more weight and body then the fruity 2021 Vintage. A wine that will drink well now, in a year or many more.
