Grant Burge Shadrach Cabernet Sauvignon
Description
Grant Burge Shadrach Cabernet Sauvignon — Barossa Valley, South Australia, 14.5% ABV. The icon-tier expression of Barossa Cabernet and the red-wine partner to Meshach Shiraz within Grant Burge's flagship range. The colour is an intense, deep purple with remarkable opacity. The nose is generously layered: cassis and blackcurrant lead, enriched by espresso-roast coffee, warming spice, and a cedar-oak framework of considerable complexity. On the palate, blackcurrant and dark plum drive through the mid-palate with a cinnamon and oak spice lift, balanced by firm yet polished tannins that signal genuine age-worthiness. Shadrach consistently achieves 95+ point critical recognition, placing it squarely in the grand-vin category of Australian Cabernet.
On-trade positioning: Shadrach sits naturally alongside Meshach on the icon section of a fine-dining wine list, giving operators a Cabernet counterpart to Shiraz at the same prestige tier. Present it to collectors who favour structured, age-worthy reds — its cellar potential of 15–20 years is a compelling conversation for high-value guests. Pair with prime cuts of beef, aged cheddar, or game such as venison and lamb rack, where its firm tannins find ideal contrast. The $130 price point positions it as a considered investment rather than a casual pour, making it a strong choice for private dining rooms and corporate account entertainment. Differentiate from other New World Cabernets by emphasising the Barossa's old-vine concentration and the estate's five generations of winemaking continuity.
