Jack Rabbit Shiraz Cabernet ‘Scarborough’ 2023 from Jack Rabbit Vineyard on Victoria’s Bellarine Peninsula is an indulgent, cool‑climate red blend that marries the plush, spicy depth of shiraz with the structure and lift of cabernet for a seriously drinkable, medium‑bodied style. This Jack Rabbit Scarborough Shiraz Cabernet 2023 is pitched as an elegant “diva” – expressive, harmonious and effortlessly enjoyable.

Aromatically, it shows ripened blood plum, black cherry and blackcurrant, wrapped in notes of chicory, cocoa and subtle leaf, with hints of spice and vanilla from well‑judged oak. The palate is smooth and medium‑bodied rather than heavy, with juicy dark fruits, fine‑grained tannins and a gentle savoury bitterness from the chicory note, all flowing into a long, balanced finish that keeps you reaching for another glass.

On the table, Jack Rabbit Shiraz Cabernet ‘Scarborough’ 2023 is a versatile partner for grilled lamb, roast beef, burgers, pizza, rich pastas and hard cheeses, working just as well at a casual barbecue as it does with a more classic roast dinner. Sold by the case from the winery, it’s a smart Bellarine red to stock up on if you like that classic Australian shiraz–cabernet flavour profile delivered in an elegant, cool‑climate frame.
