About the wine
We've nabbed a rare taste of Juicy's normally USA-bound Cabernet for you
-
Our wine guys at Naked USA challenged Juicy - the master of smooth, rich Aussie Shirazes - to make them an equally smooth, rich Cabernet Sauvignon anyone would enjoy, and the big fella delivered.
-
Unlike your classically bold, complex Cabernet Sauvignons, Juicy has produced a much more approachable everyday style. The fruit is fresh and bright, and the nose has a pretty mix of floral, herby aromas, with lots of rich blackcurrant. On the palate those floral and fruity flavours linger on the tongue, coating it in creamy loveliness.
-
If you’re ever stuck for a wine to take round a friend’s house on a Wednesday evening, this is that wine. It’s a nailed-on crowd-pleaser, with or without food. Pair it with a big pizza or pasta with ragu sauce, you’ll be in heaven.

Wine profile
Meet the winemaker - Peter 'Juicy' Gajewski
-
Juicy was born and raised in Shiraz heaven – Barossa Valley – where he planted vineyards as a kid that went on to be owned by one of Australia’s most iconic wineries. “Growing up in a grape growing and winemaking environment, wine was in my blood.” he says. Forty years and a host of international awards later, he has literally come back to his roots.
-
It turns out the vines he planted all those years ago were Juicy’s golden ticket to winemaking superstar status. His knowledge of the vineyards, combined with the natural flair he’d shown in his career so far, saw him made Chief Winemaker at the iconic Penfolds winery, where he made some of Australia’s most prized Shiraz… in the very vineyards he’d planted as a boy.
-
Safe to say, Juicy knows how to make a bangin’ wine and he’s chuffed to share his brilliant kit - that’s so close to his heart - with you. “I love seeing people enjoying the fruits of my labor, and it’s so important to me that the wines I create are in a style that the Angels enjoy. It is an honor to have the privilege of making wine for you.”
