Rawson's Retreat Shiraz Cabernet 750ml

Rawson's Retreat Shiraz Cabernet is an Australian red blend named in honour of Dr Christopher Rawson Penfold, who founded Penfolds in South Australia in 1844. It combines Shiraz and Cabernet Sauvignon from South Eastern Australia.

Rawson's Retreat Shiraz Cabernet is best served at cool room temperature, around 16 to 18 degrees. Use a large red wine glass so the dark fruit aromas can open. It is made to enjoy now or over the next few years.

Rawson's Retreat Shiraz Cabernet typically tastes of plum, blackcurrant and black pepper. Shiraz gives ripe, generous fruit while Cabernet adds structure, and soft tannins lead to a smooth, gently spiced finish. It is best enjoyed with food, while the fruit is at its most generous.

Rawson's Retreat Shiraz Cabernet goes well with barbecued beef sausages, slow-cooked lamb ragu and steak with pepper sauce. It also suits shepherd's pie, pizza and aged cheddar. Serve it at the right temperature to get the most from the match.
