Cabernet Shiraz 2019 – Black Market Deal #39480
- Rich, full-bodied
- South Australia
Australians have perfected the cab shiraz blend. We’ve also perfected innovation and a can-do spirit. So our producer here has grabbed the best cabernet fruit from the best SA cabernet region (Coonawarra) to blend with the best old vine shiraz from their estate vineyard in McLaren Vale. The resulting wine is ripe, dark and peppery. Layered on top of beautifully integrated oak (16 months in a mix of French and American), you’ll find blackcurrant, raspberry, plum, pepper and cinnamon. The tannins are silky and the finish lengthy, making for a spectacular example of the original Aussie red blend.

What is a Black Market deal?
Black Market deals are only made possible if we don’t reveal the maker’s brand on site. The wines are the genuine article – absolutely no cleanskins or fake brands, just dangerously good value. You won’t find out what it is until it hits your doorstep, but you won’t regret it. Just keep it on the down low.
It’s cool, we get it, you want to know absolutely everything about this wine. Well here you go, go nuts.

Region
South Australia
Adelaide as a wine region includes Barossa, Fleurieu and the Adelaide Hills. The wines that use this as their region tend to be very interesting, as they'll inevitably use some cooler, stylish fruit from the Hills, bolstered with richer fruit sourced from one of the other two regions. Grange is a multi-regional blend, after all.
