The Turkey Flat Sparkling Shiraz NV Gift Box is a classic Barossa Valley sparkling red that continues one of Australia’s most distinctive wine traditions. Produced by Turkey Flat Vineyards in Tanunda, this non-vintage Sparkling Shiraz combines mature Shiraz fruit with traditional bottle fermentation to create a wine with depth, richness and freshness. Presented in a gift box, it makes a strong option for festive dining, gifting or celebratory occasions while still maintaining a serious regional wine profile.
On the palate, it is full-bodied with a fine, persistent mousse and a layered texture balanced by bright acidity and soft tannin structure. Flavours of blackberry, blueberry, dried cranberry and dark cherry are supported by notes of cacao, Christmas spice and subtle mocha complexity. The wine gains additional texture and savoury detail from time spent on lees, while a small addition of aged Pedro Ximénez after disgorgement contributes gentle richness and balance without excessive sweetness. The finish is long, smooth and richly flavoured with excellent freshness for the style.
Ben’s Recommendation: At Wine More Cellars, this Sparkling Shiraz is an excellent choice for customers looking to explore a uniquely Australian sparkling wine style with depth, complexity and versatility at the table. Particularly well suited to glazed ham, roast turkey, barbecue dishes, aged cheddar or mushroom-based dishes. Best served lightly chilled rather than ice cold to allow the layered dark fruit and spice characters to open fully. Drinking beautifully now, though the wine has enough structure to continue evolving over the next 5–10 years.
