Tasting Notes
Coates Sparkling Cuvée Shiraz 2016 offers a bold and vibrant profile, crafted from premium Shiraz grapes and aged to develop richness and depth. The nose reveals aromas of ripe blackberries, dark plums, and cherries, intertwined with subtle notes of spice and dark chocolate. On the palate, luscious flavours of black fruits and liquorice are complemented by fine, persistent bubbles and a creamy texture. The finish is long and refreshing, leaving impressions of spice and a touch of earthiness. - Peter L
The winemaking philosophy of Coates Wines is not predicated on fashion or blind adherence to dogma, the processes we use (and avoid) have grown from experience and understanding. My training is as a winemaker (with a Masters Degree from the University of Adelaide), backed by Australian and International experience. Making wines from the large scale commercial end down to small batch boutique provides a pragmatic perspective on the wine world. Coates Wines are made in a way that is hoped will provide sensory delights truest to region and variety. Those who make their wines with a different philosophy to my own make different wines to my own. Experimentation and diversity is welcomed in the vinous landscape. - Winery Note
