Shiraz Cabernet

2006 South Eastern Australia Syrah, Cabernet Sauvignon

The Little Penguin Shiraz Cabernet from the 2006 vintage is a delightful blend that showcases the vibrant character of South Eastern Australia. This full-bodied red wine captivates the senses with its pronounced fruit intensity, offering luscious notes of dark berries and plums that intertwine beautifully with hints of spice and subtle oak. The acidity is bright and refreshing, providing a perfect balance to the rich flavors, while the tannins are medium, lending structure without overpowering the palate. With its dry profile, this wine invites you to enjoy it alongside hearty dishes or simply on its own, making it an excellent choice for any occasion.

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.
