Rawsons Retreat Shiraz Cabernet 750mL

Description

Rawson's Retreat Shiraz is yet another wine offering in Penfolds' Rawson's Retreat range. Shiraz, also known as Syrah in some parts of the world, is one of the most popular red grape varieties globally, and it is particularly associated with Australia. Here are some general characteristics you might find in Rawson's Retreat Shiraz: Flavor Profile: Shiraz typically exhibits rich and bold flavors of dark fruits such as blackberry, plum, and black cherry. It can also showcase notes of black pepper, spice, and sometimes a touch of mocha or chocolate. Body and Tannins: Shiraz wines are known for their full body and relatively high tannin levels. The tannins can give the wine structure and grip, contributing to its aging potential. Food Pairing: Rawson's Retreat Shiraz pairs well with a wide range of hearty dishes, such as grilled or roasted meats (steak, lamb), barbecued dishes, stews, and flavorful cheeses. Its robust flavors and structure make it an excellent accompaniment to savory and well-seasoned foods. Ageability: While some high-quality Shiraz wines from premium regions can age for several years, wines in the Rawson's Retreat range are generally intended to be enjoyed while still young and fruit-driven. They do not require extensive aging. As with any wine, the specific characteristics of Rawson's Retreat Shiraz may vary depending on the vintage and winemaking techniques used in a particular year. For more detailed information about the wine's flavor profile for a specific vintage, you can refer to tasting notes or reviews specific to that year.
