Springs Road Cabernet Sauvignon Shiraz 2018 from Kangaroo Island is a proper South Aussie blend with a coastal twist, weaving Cabernet’s structure with plush, maritime‑influenced Shiraz fruit. This Springs Road Cab Shiraz 2018 feels made for cool evenings, hearty food and long conversations around the table.

In the glass you are looking at blackcurrant, blackberry and dark plum, with hints of bay leaf, dried herb, cedar, pepper and a little dark chocolate. Cabernet brings the cassis, line and tannin backbone, while the Shiraz layers in juicy dark fruit and spice, giving a medium to full‑bodied palate that is ripe, savoury, nicely balanced and long on the finish without feeling heavy.

This Springs Road Cabernet Sauvignon Shiraz 2018 is a cracking match for roast lamb, grilled steak, beef casseroles, gourmet sausages or slow‑cooked ragù, and it also shines with hard cheeses and a big, cheesy lasagne at a cosy Adelaide night in.
