There's nothing shy about this full-bodied red! Chock full of round and chocolate berry flavour, with spearmint and a little Eucalpyt, this bold Barossan has deep plum and blackberry fruit with a lovely roundness that comes with seven years of ageing. Oh yes, this is one seriously chunky wine!

Origin: France, historically, particularly the SW Languedoc region. Mainly Grown In: These days, Australia is recognised as THE place for Cabernet Shiraz or Shiraz/Cabernet Blends, making arguably the best wines in the world. Key Facts: Cabernet meet Shiraz. It's a match made in heaven! Cabernet Sauvignon adds tannin and a green herbal character, with plenty of heft. Then along comes Shiraz with its mid-palate roundness to fill in all the flavour holes the strict Cabernet can't quite cover. With their powers combined, these grapes make what is always a big mouthful of wine. Fun Fact: Australia's most famous wine, Penfold's Grange, is a classic Shiraz/Cabernet blend!
