Varietal Cabernet Sauvignon
The benchmark wine of France’s Bordeaux region and California, Cabernet contends as the greatest red wine of the world and is grown in almost every winemaking region on the planet.

Varietal Montepulciano
The second most popular red grape planted in Italy- Montpulciano is as medium-full bodied wine often known for red fruit, cherry and plum and herbal notes with rich flavours and decent tannins. And of course pairs with Italian foods!
Varietal Shiraz
Due to the popularity of Australian wines this grape is now probably better known to most wine drinkers as Shiraz, however in France (its original home) and most growing regions of the world it is still known as Syrah. While largely a blending grape in the Rhone region wines of France, most other growing regions feature Shiraz on its own. Look for nice berry flavours with a lively spiciness- very enjoyable.
Region Murray Darling, Australia
Murray Darling is named for two of Australia’s longest rivers, which run through the vast region and provide vital irrigation. Part of the Riverland Region it is hot and dry, with long sunny days balanced by cool nights. The loamy and sandy soils are unique to the Murray River system and nourish strong vines. Together the heat, rivers and soils produce grapes which create soft and flavourful wines.
Sweetness Dry

Body Full
The big wines that can stand on their own. Often premium wines with higher tannins, alcohol levels and oaking levels as they all factor in a bigger tasting wine.
Oak Heavy
Big reds like Cabernet and ultra premium wines will have higher levels of oak as it adds to the complexity and finish that wine drinkers expect.
