River Retreat CABERNET SHIRAZ

Winemaking
Harvested at ideal ripeness the grapes were crushed and fermented on skins for 7 days with regular pump overs to extract colour and flavour. After pressing the wine was aged in selected French oak before blending and bottling. 

The Wine
Varietal expression of both Cabernet and Shiraz are perfectly balanced in this blend.  The wine is deep red in colour with aromas and flavours of blackberry and plum.  There are hints of oak and spice that compliment the fruit flavours finishing long and smooth.

Pairs very well with red meat dishes and dark chocolate.
