Black Opal Shiraz Cabernet 2016
Taste Profile: Intense colour, flavour and soft tannins from grape skins. Partial oak maturation with some parcels left un-oaked to enhance the primary fruit characters. It is a rich wine full of berry, pepper, and spice aromas with red with purple hues. Ripe berry flavours and hints of spice develop on the full-bodied yet elegant palate. This wine has soft tannins and a lingering refined finish.
Grape: Cabernet Sauvignon, Shiraz/Syrah.
Serving Tips: Serve at room temperature, pairs well with Beef, Lamb and Poultry.
Winemaking: Black Opal's winemaking philosophy is to make and blend wine from a number of vineyards in order to produce wine of a specific predetermined style. Black Opal's parent company, Mildara Blass, sources grapes from vineyard sites in South Australia, including Barossa, McLaren Vale, Coonawarra, and Clare. Access to a number of vineyards/regions enables consistent high quality wine of perfect balance and character to be made.
