2023 Winston Cabernet Shiraz

Enjoy a beautifully balanced Cabernet Shiraz with vibrant dark fruit, savoury complexity, and a smooth, elegant finish.

The 2023 Coward & Black Winston Cabernet Shiraz is a classic Australian blend combining 75% Cabernet Sauvignon and 25% Shiraz. Bursting with luscious young red fruit, this wine balances vibrant freshness with subtle oak influence and savoury complexity, creating a rich yet refined wine that's equally suited to everyday enjoyment or special occasions.

Moderately dark medium purple in colour, the nose reveals warm spices of cardamom and nutmeg, followed by dusty bay leaves, dark chocolate, and savoury meat pan juices. The palate is moderately oaky with notes of vanilla, blackcurrant, and umami nori, supported by fresh acidity, chalky tannins, and a long, balanced finish.
