Medium Bodied Sparkling Wine: Rich, Complex & Food-Friendly Bubbles

Popular Medium Bodied Sparkling Wine Styles

Traditional method sparkling is the heart of this category. Made like Champagne, with bottle fermentation and lees ageing, it delivers fine bubbles and complex, toasty flavour. Australian examples from Tasmania and the Yarra Valley are world class.

Cava and Crémant offer that same traditional method richness at a friendly price, with citrus, nutty, and bready notes.

Sparkling Rosé in its fuller styles adds red berry fruit and texture to the mix, perfect for both celebrating and dining.

Sparkling Shiraz is a rich, fruity, uniquely Australian sparkling red. Full of dark berry and spice, it is a festive favourite and one of the boldest bubbles you can pour. You will find it among our red wines and across the sparkling range.

How to Serve Medium Bodied Sparkling Wine

Serve medium bodied sparkling wine well chilled, around 7 to 9 degrees Celsius. This is slightly warmer than a light, crisp fizz, which lets the wine's richer, toasty flavours come through. A white wine glass rather than a narrow flute helps capture the more complex aromas. Sparkling Shiraz can be served a touch warmer still, around 10 to 12 degrees.

Food Pairing Ideas

With more body and complexity, these sparkling wines are wonderful at the table. Traditional method styles are a classic match for richer seafood, roast chicken, creamy cheeses, and even fish and chips. Sparkling rosé pairs beautifully with charcuterie and salmon. And sparkling Shiraz is a legendary partner for Christmas turkey, glazed ham, and barbecued meats, cutting through rich, savoury flavours with its fruit and fizz.
