The Great Australian Red, an important Australian wine challenge, awarded this Shiraz Cabernet blend 2 trophies! Spice Trader won The Get Wines Direct Trophy for The Best Wine Under $20 and The Amcor Closures Stelvin Trophy for The Best Shiraz-Dominant Blend. The Great Australian Red is a competition created by Australia’s Tyson Stelzer and the U.K.’s Matthew Jukes to showcase the best of Australia’s classic Shiraz-Cabernet Sauvignon blends.
This is an intense glass of juicy and delicious red. A burst of dark primary fruit hits the palate with a compote of blueberries, blackberries and currants. These powerful fruit notes can engulf the uninitiated, but waves of spice, fresh spearmint and dried herbs can be discovered by seasoned flavour explorers.
