Tasting Notes
Holick Sparkling Merlot is a lively and distinctive Australian sparkling red that opens with an exuberant burst of dark cherry and blackberry on the nose, lifted by a subtle floral violet note and a hint of warm spice. On the palate, the fine persistent bubbles carry flavours of ripe plum, raspberry coulis, and dark chocolate, framed by soft, velvety tannins that are characteristic of well-crafted Merlot. The effervescence adds a refreshing brightness that keeps the wine from feeling heavy, making it surprisingly versatile and celebratory. The finish is smooth and gently lingering, with a whisper of mocha and red berry sweetness that fades gracefully.
