The 2025 Rusden Ripper Creek Shiraz Cabernet Sauvignon is a rich Barossa Valley blend showing blackberry, blackcurrant and plum with cracked pepper, violet, cedar and subtle savoury spice.
On the palate, it is medium to full-bodied and structured, with fresh acidity, fine tannins and layers of dark fruit, pepper, herbs and gentle oak. The finish is dry, balanced and persistent.
Ben’s Recommendation:
At Wine More Cellars, this is a great choice for drinkers who enjoy Barossa reds with generous fruit, savoury spice and firm structure. Best enjoyed over the next 5–8 years. Pair with slow-braised beef ribs, rosemary lamb shoulder, grilled kangaroo or mushroom and lentil pie.
