Rusden Black Guts Shiraz 2023 is a muscular Australian Shiraz built around a dense fruit core and rugged structure. Dark berry and cocoa notes are layered with spice and subtle oak, delivering a wine that’s showy enough for current-drinking yet robust enough to reward short aging. Great with grilled red meat, venison, or aged cheeses.
