The Normans Holbrooks Road Sparkling Shiraz NV is a bold and sophisticated expression of one of Australia’s most iconic wine styles, combining richness, freshness and complexity in a beautifully balanced sparkling red. Crafted by Normans Wines, a historic producer established in 1853, this award-winning release showcases both tradition and modern winemaking precision.

In the glass, it presents an almost inky black colour with flashes of purple, opening with lifted aromas of red and black berry fruit layered with subtle spice and gentle yeast complexity. The palate is generous and smooth, delivering ripe blackberry and cherry flavours supported by soft tannins and a fine, persistent mousse that enhances both texture and elegance. Medium to full-bodied, it finishes long and approachable, balancing richness with freshness.

Exceptionally decorated, this sparkling Shiraz has been awarded a Trophy for Sparkling Red Wine of the Year at the Melbourne International Wine Competition, alongside an outstanding 96-point Double Gold Medal, a further 94-point Gold Medal, and 93 points from Wine Showcase Magazine—firmly placing it among the top tier of Australian sparkling reds.

Perfect for celebrations or indulgent dining, it pairs beautifully with grilled meats, roast lamb, barbecue dishes, charcuterie and rich cheeses, while also complementing chocolate-based desserts, making it a versatile and memorable choice for any occasion.
