Some partnerships create a magic that could never be realised alone - bacon and eggs, surf and sunshine, Siegfried and Roy. Shiraz & Cabernet Sauvignon is another match that delivers something greater than the sum of its parts.
Blend the rich upfront flavour and lingering aftertaste of Cabernet, with the silky softness of Shiraz, add a splash of Merlot, and you have a Rouge of super delicious deliciousness.
This smells like stepping into a cabin full of books, spices, and freshly picked blackberries. Dark cherry, blackcurrant, plum skin, and dried herbs—think bay leaf, rosemary, even a little tobacco pouch.
Textured, structured, but not heavy. The tannins are chalky and mouth-filling but not aggressive. It finishes dry, clean, and quietly confident.
Perfect with roast lamb, mushroom risotto, lentil stew, fire-roasted root veg, or a campfire and a good conversation. Wants food—but doesn’t need a white tablecloth.
Ingredients: organic grapes and a whisper of sulphur to keep it fresh and stable
