Di Giorgio’s Coonawarra Sparkling Merlot 2024 is a rich traditional Aussie sparkling red crafted from 100% Merlot grown on legendary terra rossa soils, delivering soft creamy texture exactly the way sparkling reds should be. Baked cherry pie and mulberries lead the bouquet alongside vanilla spice, while a rich array of ripe forest fruits, stewed fruits with hints of spice and old brandy add complexity. Soft and creamy on the palate, ripe raspberry and mulberry flavours mingle with nuances of plum pudding and fruit cake, finishing with berry sweetness and rich full structure that delivers traditional character.

This Coonawarra Sparkling Merlot pairs brilliantly with roast turkey where its soft creamy texture complements rich poultry, while game meats allow the wine’s ripe forest fruit characters to shine. Fruit cake with raisins also makes an ideal match, creating a perfect festive combination with the wine’s plum pudding and stewed fruit notes.

Drink it now while it still has plenty of bubbles and showcases fresh, fruity characters. This traditional Australian sparkling red delivers outstanding quality from one of Coonawarra’s most respected producers.
