Are these wines red cepage wines?
Peller Estates Baco Noir, Trius cab-sauvignon, Coastal Cab-Sauvignon, Shiraz, Mission Hill Merlot, Hardys Shiraz. Are they 100% Cepage red wines?
Answers:
People who don't know what 'cepage' means should not be answering wine questions.
The answer is yes, they are all red cepage wines.
The ones you would question are the two Shiraz, as it is coming common practise with many Shiraz's to co-ferment with a tiny percentage of white Viognier but according to the Hardys web-site all the Shiraz are 100% varietal. (they make more than one Shiraz for the USA market - Hardys Stamp, Nottage, Eileen Hardy, Ooomoo, a box wine and a sparkling Shiraz )
The other Shiraz - 'Coastal'? -- which winery is is it, the word coastal is used by many wineries in several countries? But if they'd used Viognier it is almost certain that it would be named Shiraz-Viognier on the label.
