Majella The Malleea Cabernet Sauvignon Shiraz 2018 is a commanding Coonawarra red from Majella Wines, blending Cabernet Sauvignon and Shiraz into a cellar-worthy expression of richness, freshness and finesse. This highly regarded vintage is dark, concentrated and beautifully composed, built for a memorable dinner or the long haul.

Blackberry, cassis and ripe plum meet chocolate, liquorice, clove and earthy savoury notes, with cool Coonawarra mint adding lift. The palate is intense yet refined, framed by juicy acidity, fine satiny tannins and seamlessly integrated oak that carries the deep fruit long through the finish.

Decant Majella Malleea 2018 Cabernet Sauvignon Shiraz for slow-roasted lamb shoulder, beef cheeks or a pepper-crusted ribeye. Its depth and poise make it brilliant with slow-cooked, richly flavoured dishes, while its structure will reward patient cellaring for at least another 12 to 15 years.
