'Abbott Peak' Shiraz Merlot

Aldridge's Abbott Peak Shiraz Merlot is a full-bodied red wine from South Australia that showcases the classic marriage of Shiraz's dark fruit intensity and Merlot's textural softness. The blend opens with dominant notes of dark plum and black cherry, layered with black pepper and licorice spice. Secondary oak and subtle leather notes add complexity and age-worthiness, while medium-high tannins provide a firm, structured finish suitable for cellaring or immediate enjoyment with hearty fare.
