Shiraz brings peppery spice and ripe berry flavour, Cabernet Sauvignon adds depth and structure, and Merlot rounds everything out with softer fruit and mid-palate weight. Expect red berries, cherry, a touch of vanilla and sweet oak, supported by gentle tannins and an easy finish. It is a handy match for burgers, barbecue fare, sausages or a midweek bowl of pasta, and an approachable choice for anyone who prefers their reds generous rather than stern.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWhat the winery says:\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eThe fruit is sourced from vineyards across Victoria, South Australia and New South Wales. Each variety is crafted separately before blending, allowing spicy Shiraz to form the backbone while Cabernet Sauvignon contributes depth and Merlot adds berry flavour and softness. The fruit is crushed and destemmed, then fermented at cool temperatures with regular pump-overs to extract colour, tannin and flavour. Most of the wine matures in stainless steel, with selected parcels spending time on oak for added length and structure.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"EuroVintage","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":53182035394927,"sku":"100830","price":83.94,"currency_code":"NZD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0968\/2252\/6319\/files\/TheShyPigShirazCabernetMerlot2024.jpg?v=1783309691","url":"https:\/\/stolencellar.co.nz\/products\/the-shy-pig-shiraz-cabernet-merlot","provider":"Stolen Cellar","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
