Tasting Notes
Rich and deeply coloured with aromas of dark fruit, chocolate, and warm spice. On the palate it’s medium-full bodied and dry — Cabernet’s firm structure perfectly complementing Shiraz’s ripe, fruit-forward character. A serious red with outstanding depth and a long, satisfying finish. Improves with 1–2 months of bottle ageing.
