This blend of Shiraz, Dolcetto and Cabernet Sauvignon has 14.5% alcohol and now 2 g/L residual sugar with lot number 8078 on the lower part of the glass bottle. Screwcap closure.

| Famed winemaker Ben Glaetzer crafted the 2015 vintage of the Stickleback Red from 74% Cabernet Sauvignon, 24% Shiraz and 2% Lagrein and matured it for 12 months in a combo of French and American oak. Expect a spicy, smoky, ripe, fruity wine to savour with sizzling steaks or burgers. |
