Put the Sparkle into Valentine's Day with Black Label Sparkling Shiraz
If you are looking for something with a little sparkle to celebrate this Valentine's Day but the usual suspects leave you feeling slightly flat - take a chance on a bottle of Black Label Sparkling Shiraz.
With some bottles of fizz being more bubbles than body it is refreshing to find a cork to pop that still has plenty left underneath.
The Black Label Sparkling Shiraz is a very versatile wine which can be served chilled as a starter or used as part of your romantic meal.
With so many different bottles of sparkling wine readily available in white and rosé, it makes a surprising change to find a bottle in red.
And while some can fall a little flat after the initial fizz fades away, with the McGuigan Black Label Sparkling Shiraz we discovered a full bodied red secreted under the bubbles.
A mass of light purple bubbles pour from the bottle to settle in to the glass and offer a deeper than expected taste. While it is certainly bubbly, it isn't overpoweringly so, leaving you to appreciate the flavour without it getting too far up your nose.
Receiving divided opinions on whether it was more suited to being served chilled or at room temperature, all agreed it is certainly an eye-opener in terms of affordability - and excelled on taste for what is.
With an RRP of around £8-9 if you prefer a red wine and want to pop a cork or two on Valentine's Day without breaking the bank, then we can certainly recommend giving this Shiraz a try.
Delightful dark berry fruit flavours of blackcurrant and plum are the highlights of this sparkling Shiraz. A touch of spicy oak and chocolate add extra depth, while fine beads deliver a refreshing finish and give the wine excellent length.
