Pavarotti performs his famous role  - “The Black Prince of Shiraz” hitting all the  notes of rich ripe blackberries, blueberries and dark plums. In sweeps Domingo playing the Cabernet of Seville, delivering a commanding performance of cassis, dark cherry and fruitcake - with just the right amount of brooding intensity. When Carreras performs that lesser known lullaby “Twinkle, Twinkle Little Merlot”, we are embraced in a velvet blanket drinking our lightly spiced, warm dark cocoa. The performance leaves you with an overall elegance that stays with you on the drive home and a slight urge to belt out Nessun Dorma.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Cape Naturaliste","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":45925425545282,"sku":null,"price":70.0,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0618\/5785\/7602\/files\/TRReserveShirazCabMerlot.jpg?v=1746603604","url":"https:\/\/capenaturalistevineyard.com.au\/products\/torpedo-rocks-reserve-shiraz-cabernet-merlot-2020","provider":"Cape Naturaliste ","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
