Yering Frog Cabernet Shiraz 75cl

Want a red wine that shows up for dinner and doesn’t need a lecture to enjoy? This Australian Cabernet Sauvignon and Shiraz blend is built for bold flavour, easy pouring, and that “one more glass” kind of finish.

Cabernet brings the backbone (dark fruit and grip). Shiraz brings the fun (juicy plum and spice). Together, you get a full-bodied red that feels generous without turning into a tannin workout.

• Appearance: Deep ruby, edging into purple.
• Nose: Blackcurrant and blackberry first, then plum, a hint of peppery spice, and a little vanilla-like sweetness.
• Palate: Dark berries and plum up front, with medium, steady tannins that keep it structured and food-friendly.
• Body: Medium to full-bodied, with a confident, warming feel.
• Finish: Lingers on black fruit and gentle spice, clean enough to keep you going back.

Food pairing: This one loves flavour, try it with pepper-crusted steak, BBQ lamb chops, or a smoky beef burger with cheddar and caramelized onions.

It’s also a solid “bring to a braai” bottle, bold enough to please the red wine crowd, approachable enough for people who are still figuring out what they like.

If you usually reach for straight Shiraz, this is a great step sideways, you get the same juicy energy, but with Cabernet’s extra shape and bite. If Cabernet Sauvignon is your thing, the Shiraz makes it feel less serious and more snackable.

Australia does blends like this ridiculously well because the sunshine helps the fruit come through loud and clear, so you taste blackberry and plum, not just oak and attitude.

Fun Fact: Cabernet Shiraz is one of Australia’s signature red blends, basically their answer to “why choose one grape when you can have the best parts of both?”
