Shiraz Cabernet 2016 – Black Market Deal #35218
Big, bold and bright! It’s that classic Aussie combo of shiraz and cabernet, straight from Wrattonbully, the region with maybe the coolest name in Australia (one could argue for Tumbarumba though). Anyways, Wrattonbully runs up against Coonawarra on one side and the beach on the other. The grapes enjoy the maritime influence, leading to impressive structure in cabernet and condensed flavours in shiraz. Combining the two varietals gives you the best of both worlds with intense red fruit and spice, held together by soft, yet quite present tannins. No wonder us Aussies perfected this blend.

Region
Wrattonbully
Located between Coonawarra and Padthaway, Wrattonbully accounts for 2,600 hectares of vineyards. The dominant grapes are Cabernet Sauvignon, Shiraz, Merlot and Chardonnay.
