Penfolds Max's Shiraz Cabernet is an enchanting blend of Australia's finest grapes. This tantalising red wine presents a vibrant scarlet hue and offers an intoxicating bouquet of dark cherries, spiced plums, and a subtle hint of chocolate. The full-bodied palate captivates with a rich medley of dark berries, velvet tannins and oak undertones, drawn from 12 months in French and American barrels. With a lusciously smooth finish and profound depth of flavour, every sip of this dazzling wine is a celebration of Penfolds' robust viticulture heritage. It's a perfect accompaniment to hearty meals and sophisticated soirees alike.

Tasting Notes

Colour - Magenta core with crimson edges. Nose- A gorgeous amalgamation of two expressive varietals, each flattering the other in a synergistic union. Ripe cherry and Swiss milk chocolate aromatics invites further investigation. A second swirl releases cabernet varietalderived spearmint, interwoven with raspberry, cinnamon and fennel. Palate - A lovely balanced palate with fresh red currant and plum fruit backed by lively acidity. There is more than a hint of charcouterie with cured fennel sausage foremost in mind. Seasoned oak has integrated well to deliver a creamy texture and cola spice nuances. Fruit derived tannins are both fine and velvety
