Merlot is the perfect varietal for those who like their red wines on the smooth side. Soft, velvety and plush with fruit characters of plum, blueberry and blackcurrant, Hardy's have produced a wonderful easy drinking red wine with the added bonus of being bottled in a larger 1L bottle adding great value.

The Eaglehawk Cabernet Sauvignon from Wolf Blass shows excellent varietal character and structure. Blackcurrant and cassis flavours are complemented by soft tannins and well-integrated oak.

Baily & Baily Silhouette Cabernet Sauvignon is one to be savoured. Subtle oak undertones give this an edge, working beautifully with the rich blackberry and spice aroma and a delicious palate that's packed full of red fruit flavour. A silky texture makes it incredibly accessible.

Glaetzer-Dixon's wine maker Nick has taken four generations of Barossa shiraz wine-making knowledge and applied it to carefully selected parcels of shiraz grapes from the Coal Valley in Southern Tasmania. The Mon Père Shiraz is a pre-eminent cool-climate shiraz, with flavours and textures evocative of Northern Rhône valley wines.

Wolf Blass brings us a fruit driven style Shiraz Merlot Cabernet blend with a bouquet of lifted spice, plum, and subtle oak. The palate is medium bodied, showing soft fruit flavours with rich berry characters.

MadFish Shiraz is an award-winning red displaying a rich garnet colour with great density. The nose is generous with dark cherry, black and blue berry aromas, as well as subtle savoury notes. The palate offers flavours of cherry, dark plum and chocolate along with an earthy complexity, gentle tannin structure and ample length. All-in-all, it's an opulent, full-bodied wine showing concentrated fruit flavours and a soft, approachable palate. Its a great choice to pair with spicy venison sausages, lamb moussaka or beef bourguignon.

This Cabernet Shiraz Merlot blend shows aromas of bright red cherry with lashes of plum and raspberry flavours. Leaving a full and lengthy finish on the palate. The perfect pairing for a slow cooked beef pot roast.
