The Fifth Leg Shiraz Cabernet Sauvignon Merlot is a serious wine in a fun package. Shiraz provides the backbone to this wine with plenty of plum, pepper and spice. Cabernet Sauvignon delivers dark cherry and blackberry fruit, with nice grippy tannins, while Merlot fills out the mid-palate with plenty of juicy, fleshy red fruits.

Colour:
Deep red with a solid core.
Nose:
Very inviting – bright and fresh. It’s lifted and full of berries – raspberries, blueberries, cherries and spice. Further complexity comes from spicy French oak.
Palate:
The palate shows soft and lush flavours with persistent red and blueberry characters supported by a fine tannin structure. The finish displays lovely length and a harmonious fruit and oak balance.
Grape Variety:
Shiraz (55%), Cabernet Sauvignon (30%), Merlot (15%)
