Details and technical informations about Winery Penny's Hill's Cracking Black Sparkling Shiraz.
Discover the grape variety: Roussin
Light and fruity reds with a light ruby colour, melted tannins and a light palate, offering discreet signature aromas of red fruits (cherry, strawberry) and floral notes. A confidential heritage profile. Now almost extinct, preserved in a few INRAE ampelographic collections, it bears witness to the varietal diversity of the old French vineyard. Rare French black variety, once grown in the Loire Valley and Burgundy.

The wine region of Australie du Sud
Cradle of the great Australian Shiraz: powerful, sun-drenched reds with notes of blackberry, candied plum, pepper, chocolate and eucalyptus, ample tannins and vibrant fruit (Barossa, McLaren Vale). Firm, minty Cabernet Sauvignon on Coonawarra (terra rossa). Dry, lemony Riesling from Clare and Eden Valley, straight and taut. Fresh Sauvignon and Chardonnay from Adelaide Hills.
The word of the wine: Chaptalization
The addition of sugar at the time of fermentation of the must, an ancient practice, but theorized by Jean-Antoine Chaptal at the dawn of the 19th century. The sugar is transformed into alcohol and allows the natural degree of the wine to be raised in a weak or cold year, or - more questionably - when the winegrower has a harvest that is too large to obtain good maturity.
