This blend being Shiraz Cabernet Malbec is a wild combination of ...Australian Malbec which is one of the top red grapes of importance which has a common bond as one of the varieties used in Bordeaux reds. The Malbec variety is valuable for its density of colour and tannic acid.Shiraz also known as syrah and hermitage. The flavours contained in the dark skin rise in tandem with sugars in the pulp and often shiraz can be picked with excellent sugar - acid  balances and intense colour and flavour.The conditions in Australia are capable of producing high quality shiraz. The Shiraz with its full dark, dark, rich and fruity wine has a natural low tannin softness and combines perfectly with American Oak during maturation to provide one of Australia's richest and most enjoyable wine styles. That is why in the early days of Australian wine making, Shiraz was often called 'burgundy' as it was soft, round and mellow, reminiscent to the new settlers of the supple wines of Bourgogne (Burgundy) France. Finally the Australian Cabernet has a firm intense tannic backbone and the fruit characteristic is enhanced and softened after blended with merlot. This is a classic Bordeaux blend.
