WINE MAKING PROCESS
The Rawson's Retreat Shiraz Cabernet 2022 is a blend of 60% Shiraz and 40% Cabernet Sauvignon. The grapes are sourced from various districts within South Australia. Following harvest, the wine undergoes maturation in small French and American oak barrels for several months, with some sources noting 6 months in French oak. This process contributes to the wine's structure and flavor profile. The wine is finished with a twist-lock (Stelvin) closure.
