2021 Aldridge Shiraz-Merlot

Two delicious red grapes come together in 2021 Aldridge Shiraz-Merlot, hailing from Southeastern Australia. Shiraz wines from this New World wine region are celebrated for their big fruit flavor. Medium-red in color with vibrant violet hues, this red blend expresses rustic blackberry flavor with subtle hints of mint. The predominant Shiraz adds spicy overtones, while the addition of Merlot gives balanced tannins. The result? A deliciously juicy, medium-bodied wine. This blend was crafted by Cranswick Wines in Southeastern Australia, where cool nights and mild days lead to ideal conditions for bringing out the ripe fruit flavor in grapes. Cranswick Wines’ easy-drinking Aldridge wines represent discovery, inspired by an old Aboriginal legend about people living in a village illuminated by bright stars. The villagers revered these stars and harnessed their light to chase away the darkness. 2021 Aldridge Shiraz-Merlot is sure to be a bright light in your wine collection. This blend shines when served alongside roast lamb, pasta, and beef.
