The Puppetmaster

2015 South Eastern Australia Shiraz 55% / Cabernet Sauvignon 45%

Sideshow The Puppetmaster is a captivating red blend that artfully showcases the elegance of Shiraz combined with the depth of Cabernet Sauvignon, with the former making up more than half of the composition. This 2015 vintage from South Eastern Australia presents a beautiful, deep ruby hue that hints at its rich flavor profile. The wine is medium-bodied, offering a delightful balance that makes it both approachable and complex. Acidity levels are bright, lending a refreshing quality that complements its fruit-forward character, which is marked by prominent notes of ripe blackberries and dark plums, enhanced by subtle hints of spice and oak. The tannins are firm yet well-integrated, providing structure without overwhelming the palate. Enjoyably dry, this wine is perfect for a variety of occasions, making it a versatile choice for red wine lovers seeking a delightful drinking experience.

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.
