Wine Description
Classic Australian blend of Cabernet and Shiraz. In Langhorne Creek the delicate spice of the region is a perfect counter-point to the vibrant fruit notes that dominate the palate. 2nd and 3rd use oak barrels account for the mellow and structured characters that bring the fruit into balance. The Spice Trader blend looks to the spice trading ships that first brought Europeans to Australian shores in search of exotic flavours. Those flavours now travel throughout the world in the wines this unique region helps to create.
