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 consistency of Shiraz, add a splash of Merlot, and you have a Rouge of super delicious deliciousness.
This blend has been simply foot-crushed, hand-plunged during wild ferment and basket pressed to old oak for some sleepy time. Usually the Cabernet, Shiraz & Merlot are all from from our Quindalup vineyard but a low-yielding Shiraz block in 2020 lead us to a search for more top-notch organic Shiraz - luckily discovered just down the road. Add in a chocolate pudding and you might just get a ménage à quatre of taste that you're willing to sacrifice your first born for.
