Sparkling Shiraz Explained

Sparkling Shiraz is an Australian wine style.[1] The wine style has been claimed to have been created in 1895 by Edmond Mazure.[2] Before the enforcement of appellations d'origine contrôlée, the style was called Sparkling Burgundy.[3] The wine begins as a Shiraz on its first fermentation. Its secondary fermentation takes place in its bottle, or méthode champenoise.[4]

The Sparkling Shiraz style has been described as "uniquely Australian".[5]
