WINE MAKING PROCESS
Maze Shiraz Cabernet Sauvignon is produced by blending Shiraz and Cabernet Sauvignon grapes. The fruit is sourced from the Limestone Coast region of South Australia, where viticultural practices aim to retain fresh fruitiness due to the climate. Following harvest, the wine undergoes aging in oak barrels, which imparts complexity and notes of dark chocolate. The specific fermentation techniques are not detailed, but the blend is a common practice in Australian winemaking.
