Sparkling red wine offers a unique and flavourful experience. Italy's sweet Lambrusco is by far and away the most popular sparkling red style in the world, however since the 1890s Australia has made a drier, more serious, full-bodied ageworthy style, primarily from Shiraz.

Australian varieties can range from dry to sweet, with flavours of red and dark fruit, and sometimes a touch of spice. The bubbles add a festive and refreshing element to the rich fruit character, making them suitable for a variety of food pairings.
