Family Selection

2008 South Eastern Australia Shiraz Cabernet

The Db Family Selection Shiraz Cabernet from the 2008 vintage is a remarkable testament to the thriving wine culture of South Eastern Australia. This enticing red wine showcases a full-bodied profile, harmoniously blending richness with an impressive structure. Its acidity is well-balanced, providing a vibrant lift that enhances the wine's overall character. The fruit intensity is pronounced, revealing layers of dark berries and ripe plums, intermingled with subtle hints of spice and oak. Tannins are firm yet approachable, contributing to a smooth mouthfeel that carries the wine gracefully across the palate. As you savor this wine, you'll appreciate its dry finish, which invites another sip and complements a range of dishes beautifully.

South Eastern Australia
South Eastern Australia

Covering the entire southeastern third of the country, the South Eastern Australia designation is a vast area (over 1,200 miles long and encompassing the regions of South Australia, New South Wales and Tasmania). Many of Australia's best wines are made here. From the stunning Shiraz produced around Adelaide to the luscious Sémillons of the Hunter Valley, and from the fragrant Pinot Noirs of Tasmania to the lush Chardonnay of Riverina, nearly every grape variety and wine style flourishes in South Eastern Australia, basking in the sun-kissed Mediterranean climate and rich, varied soils.
