Price Drop: Shiraz Cabernet 2021 – Black Market Deal #42668
- Rich, full-bodied
- King Valley
When one of our favourite winemakers in Victoria’s North East asks us to come around and taste a few bottles, we come running. He’s a deadset legend, producing varieties from the region’s finest - including a wildly Tuscan style sangiovese - and while that’s great, what makes our friends wine impeccable is in honouring the timeless classic of shiraz and cabernet. Here is a blend to stand alongside the nation’s best. A classic Aussie wine, that takes on density but balanced in a more medium-body, with plum, cassis, and gloriously fine, fine tannins.

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
King Valley
The region of King Valley is as impressive as its name. With a magnificent vineyard area covering 1,800ha, it represents half of all the plantings in North East Victoria. Celebrated for its innovative varietals, covering all corners of the globe - from Spain, to Germany, France, Russia and more famously Italy, it's this point of difference that has made the area such a revered Aussie wine region. Gentle slopes, warm days and cool nights make it an ideal area to produce Mediterranean varieties such as Nebbiolo, Sangiovese and Prosecco amongst many other out-of-the-box wines - talk about La Dolce Vita!
