WinExpert Reserve Australian-Style Cabernet Shiraz Wine Kit. Makes 30 bottles with blackberry, chocolate and oak flavours. Full-bodied, 13% ABV.
WinExpert Reserve 30 Bottle Australian Cabernet Shiraz
Australia’s boldest blend — and one of WinExpert Reserve’s most impressive reds. This Australian Cabernet Shiraz combines the structural intensity of Cabernet Sauvignon with the ripe fruit and chocolate of Shiraz — blackberry, dark chocolate, liquorice, and subtle smoke. Full-bodied, heavily oaked, and built for the cellar.

Tasting Notes
Deep, inky ruby in the glass with a powerful nose of blackberry, dark chocolate, liquorice, and a hint of smoke. On the palate it’s full-bodied and structured — rich, complex, and hearty with heavy oak and firm tannins. A serious cellar wine that improves significantly with up to 12 months of ageing.
