Tasting Notes 

Colour: Deep ruby red with purple-crimson tones.

Aromatics: Blackberry, plum and dark cherry, with blackcurrant, cracked pepper, dried herbs and a light touch of cedar and spice.

Palate: Medium to full-bodied and smooth, with generous dark fruit at the front. The Shiraz gives the wine plushness and spice, while Cabernet adds shape, freshness and fine tannin. It is flavour-packed without feeling heavy.

Finish: Dry, savoury and satisfying, with lingering blackberry, cassis, pepper and gentle oak spice.

About the Blend

Shiraz Cabernet is one of Australia’s great red wine blends. Shiraz gives the wine fruit weight, generosity and spice, while Cabernet Sauvignon brings blackcurrant flavour, structure and length.

The result is a red that is both easy to enjoy and very food-friendly. It has the richness many people love in Shiraz, but with a little more shape and savoury complexity from Cabernet.

Serving and Cellaring 

Serve: 16 to 18°C

If the bottle has been sitting at warm room temperature, place it in the fridge for around 15 minutes before serving. This helps keep the fruit bright and the tannins smooth.

Decant: Being a young, predominant Cabernet, we would strongly recommend decanting for 60-120 minutes to get the most out of it. 

Cellar: Drinking well now, or enjoy over the next three to five years while the fruit remains generous and fresh.

I've been ordering from Partners in Wine for three years now - from the UK for my sister living in Perth. Each time they've been bang on with my order including  on time delivery. Kirk has also helped me select my wines from an extensive list.  A very pleasant and friendly company to deal with. I would highly recommend them.
