De Bortoli Sacred Hill Riverina Shiraz Cabernet 2022 - 12 Bottles

Product Description

Winery Background
The Sacred Hill range from De Bortoli is crafted to deliver approachable, fruit-driven wines that reflect the character of their varietals and the warmth of the Riverina region. The Shiraz Cabernet blend is a celebrated Australian classic, offering both richness and balance.

Vineyards and Vintage Conditions
The 2022 vintage in the Riverina enjoyed warm days and cool nights, ensuring even ripening and concentrated fruit flavours. Shiraz thrived with plush berry notes, while Cabernet contributed structure and depth.

Winemaking Process
Shiraz and Cabernet parcels were fermented separately to maximize varietal character. Gentle pressing and careful blending allowed Shiraz’s juicy fruit to meld with Cabernet’s firm tannins. A short period of oak maturation added complexity and subtle spice.

Tasting Notes
Deep crimson in colour with aromas of blackberry, plum, and cassis, accented by a touch of pepper and cedar. The palate is medium- to full-bodied, showing rich dark fruits, soft tannins, and a smooth, lingering finish.

Food Pairing
Perfect with grilled steak, roast beef, barbecued ribs, or a hearty mushroom casserole.

Story Behind the Wine
This wine showcases the best of both worlds—Shiraz’s ripe, generous fruit meeting Cabernet’s elegance and structure—resulting in a versatile red perfect for any occasion.
