Tasting Note

Deep crimson red in colour. Cedar fragrances and blue fruits are joined by complex earthy tones, lots of blackberry, blackcurrant and chocolate. An elegant and generously flavoured wine that is succulent with a rich core of dark berries and smooth chocolate coated tannins.

A tranquil melody of ripe blackberries, cassis and savoury herbs, it lends a delicate touch to the palate.

Its vivid ruby hue adds a visual charm that precedes its full-bodied brilliance. Aged in French oak barrels, the FDR1A possesses a tantalising bouquet, raising a toast to Australia's winemaking heritage. Simply, an outstanding interpretation of the classic Cabernet-Sauvignon Shiraz blend.
