Elegant ~ Balanced ~ Intriguing

At first glance, a Shiraz and Pinot Noir blend might seem like an unlikely duo. After all, these two varietals couldn’t be more different – Shiraz is bold and full-bodied, while Pinot Noir is light and elegant. But don’t be fooled by the initial contrast. This blend has its roots in Australian wine history, with similar Shiraz-Pinot combinations being crafted in various wine regions across the country since the 1940s. Over time, winemakers discovered that when combined, these two varietals create a harmonious, intriguing wine that balances depth with finesse.

FAQ 🧐

❓ What is the significance of blending Shiraz and Pinot Noir 
Blending Shiraz and Pinot Noir brings together two very different grape varietals, offering the best of both worlds. Shiraz provides boldness and richness, while Pinot Noir adds elegance and freshness, creating a wine that is both intense and delicate.

❓ Why should I serve this wine slightly chilled 
Serving this wine at a slightly cooler temperature highlights its vibrancy and freshness, enhancing the fruity and refreshing qualities of the wine. It allows the wine’s full character to shine, especially when paired with lighter dishes.

❓ How can I tell if a wine has good tannins 
Good tannins are smooth, not harsh or astringent. In a well-balanced wine, they should provide structure without overwhelming the fruit flavours. The Risky Business Shiraz Pinot offers fine, silky tannins, giving it a smooth, soft finish.
