Our 2008 Crémant Rouge de Boronia is a
superbly juicy blend of 90% Merlot and 10% Shiraz that delivers subtle
complexity and heightened flavours of chocolate and berries. The wine is
softened with soothing notes of creamy vanillan brought together by a
refreshing grapey acidity.
Most of our Merlot goes into
this lovely sparkling wine. Our 2008 Crémant Rouge de Boronia is made in the
traditional méthode champenoise style where fermentation is completed in the bottle. Our 2008
Crémant Rouge de Boronia has amazingly resilient mousse, the effervescence of
this handsome wine clings to the glass. Purple and gamey, it exudes heady odours
of chocolate and cassis, cherry and vanillan, swirls of creamy anise &
strawberry parfaits, absolutely awash with big fruits and chocolateyness, it
moves rapidly along your palate towards a violet and cherry-ripe richness. The
tang of the refreshing acidity makes this bubbly burgundy a sensational all
weather wine, soothing around winter feasts, crisp and refreshing to accompany
an outdoor summery barbeque, perfectly suited to good roast beef, brilliant
with luscious chocolate and berry- based desserts, and absolutely vital with
that festive occasion get-together. Maybe you should just sit on the veranda,
on a warm Australian evening, watching the sun go down, sipping a flute of this
magic wine.
