Made from 85% Shiraz and 15% Pinot Noir this wine is named to honour the five generations of Scholz `doctors` that have worked and lived on the family property since 1845. The sixth generation broke tradition to begin winemaking. Sparkling Red maintains some of that tradition, as it has long been a favourite of The Doctor.
A blend of vintages for complexity, the wine shows black fruits and chocolate with gentle tannins from Shiraz: gamey influence from Pinot Noir along with yeast complexity from 22 months on yeast lees. A truly Australian style showing rich fruit and complex yeast characters, yet maintaining a soft, long palate.
