JED STEELE'S SHOOTING STAR
BLACK BUBBLES
SYRAH

Vineyards

From an idea born in the Land Down Under we proudly unveil our newest creation, Black Bubbles. Always on the lookout for something different, Jed Steele’s son Quincy discovered sparkling Shiraz, an Aussie tradition, while working in d’Arenburg. Bringing home the idea of a Northern California version inspired Jed to formulate a unique Syrah blend from some of our finest contracted vineyards in Lake County.

Winemaking

The final Syrah blend was finished here at Steele Wines, using a mix of French and American oak barrels. We then sent it off to a sparkling wine producer to be infused with bubbles. It came back as effervescent, crisp and lively Black Bubbles.

Food

From the launch of this wine at our 2006 Harvest Party, Black Bubbles has been a hit. Although well made, cutting edge, and rare, you will find that anytime is a good time to enjoy it. Surprisingly good with various hors d’oeuvres, it also complements any special occasion. Truly a wine for all seasons!
