BEELGARA Estate  

THE VINES, SHIRAZ – CABERNET

South East Australia, 2013 

Beelgara Estate was formed in 2001 after the purchase of the 60-year old Rossetto family winery. The emphasis has changed significantly, with a concerted effort to go to the right region for each variety, while still maintaining good value for money.

The Vines Shiraz Cabernet is light in style, food friendly and instantly approachable. These wines will compliment most food styles and are perfect wines for entertaining, whatever the size of your table. 

This soft and fruity red blend shows attractive cherry flavours. Subtle oak provides depth and structure to this harmonious wine.
