Conclusion. Shiraz and Cabernet Sauvignon are two of the world's most popular and widely grown grapes. They both provide us with two great wines that we love. The bottom line is: you can't go wrong with either wine, so drink whatever you like.

In summary, wines made from Shiraz are fruity, sweet and full-bodied, with a high alcohol content and powerful tannins. Cabernet Sauvignon, on the other hand, are wines with a complex and attractive aroma, full-bodied and balanced wines with great aging potential.

Shiraz wines are well known for their rich and juicy mid-palate. You can expect to taste flavours of pepper, spice and sweet red fruit. We also often get a different feel on the palate, strong on the front in the mouth and on the finish but with a slightly different mid-palate feel.

While Shiraz is typically a dry wine, there are some variations of Shiraz that can be enjoyed as a dessert wine. The main difference between Shiraz as a dry wine and Shiraz as a dessert wine is the residual sugar content. Dessert wines have a higher residual sugar content, which gives them a sweeter flavour profile.
