Markovic Estate Select Shiraz Grenache offers a vibrant, medium-bodied experience perfect for relaxed evenings or lively gatherings. With an ABV of 14%, this Australian blend is crafted from carefully selected Shiraz and Grenache grapes, showcasing the region’s sun-drenched vineyards and skilled winemaking traditions.
On the palate, you’ll find ripe blackberry and plum from the Shiraz balanced by Grenache’s red cherry and subtle spice. Hints of pepper and soft tannins create a smooth finish that complements grilled lamb beautifully, while its fruit-forward character stands up well to aged cheddar, enhancing both the wine’s depth and your meal.
Producer Information: Markovic Estates
Markovic Estates is based in the rolling hills of northern Croatia, where the unique microclimate and mineral-rich soils provide an ideal environment for viticulture. The estate was founded in the early 1990s by the Markovic family, who combined generations of agricultural expertise with a passion for winemaking. Their production approach centers on sustainable farming practices, hand-harvesting grapes at optimal ripeness, and employing both traditional and modern vinification techniques to preserve varietal character and terroir expression.
Beyond their flagship wines, Markovic Estates offers a diverse portfolio that includes indigenous Croatian varietals such as Graševina and Plavac Mali alongside international favorites like Chardonnay and Cabernet Sauvignon. The estate also produces small-batch brandies distilled from estate-grown fruit, as well as craft liqueurs infused with local botanicals. In recent years, they have expanded into artisanal beer brewing using locally sourced barley and hops, further showcasing their commitment to quality across multiple beverage categories.

Sweet/Dessert Red Wine is a category of wine characterized by its rich sweetness, often enjoyed as an after-dinner drink or paired with desserts. This style includes varieties such as Muscat, Zinfandel, and Port, which are crafted using techniques like late harvest methods to concentrate sugars or fortification to retain sweetness. Common flavor notes include ripe berries like strawberry and raspberry, dried fruits such as figs and raisins, along with hints of chocolate and spices like cinnamon.
The texture of Sweet/Dessert Wines is typically lush and velvety, offering a full-bodied experience with a smooth finish. Aromas can range from floral notes of rose petals to jammy fruit and vanilla undertones. These wines are often produced in regions known for their sweet styles, including Italy’s Emilia-Romagna for Lambrusco and Portugal’s Douro Valley for Port. Ideal food pairings include chocolate desserts, fruit tarts, cheese plates featuring blue or creamy cheeses, and even spicy dishes that complement the wine’s sweetness.
