Hill of Content Sparkling Red PADTHAWAY/SOUTH AUSTRALIA
Tasting Notes
This Non Vintage Sparkling wine is made predominantly from Shiraz and Cabernet, with fruit sourced from Padthaway in South Australia. The wine has been aged in 2 to 3 year barrel to add to its lush and intense character. Delicious sweet red and black fruits are made all the more seductive by the "sparkle". A wine for all festive events, a wine to serve as an aperitif with rich and flavorsome meatballs. The ultimate is to accompany a Thanksgiving Dinner with Turkey and Cranberries. Food for thought.
Estate Profile
Location: Fruit sourced from Clare Valley, McLaren Vale, Adelaide Hills, & Mornington Peninsula.
Hill of Content was born out of my desire to create interesting Region specific wines at a price that allows for “liberal” consumption. The name translates as “Hill of Happiness”, referring to a state of mind rather than geographic place. I hoped it would also be my own little way of seeking revenge against those “anonymous” glass pour wines that I am sure you to have tried and been disappointed by......you know wines that are red or white, contain alcohol, but you would hardly strike up a conversation about. You be the judge if I have succeeded. John Larchet, Proprietor.
