Top 6 Red Wine Types

By Pineappleadmin|2020-03-19T18:37:09+10:00July 10th, 2019|Gold Coast, Brisbane|

Wine types derive from the sort of grape found in the wine producing process, although wine beverage labels sometime make reference to the region where the grape was produced as opposed to the grape itself. In Australia, we have a tendency to label our wines following the grape, as opposed to the region your wine is made. Cabernet Sauvignon Cabernet Sauvignon (cah-ber-nay so-vin-yong) may be the name of your wine, along with the grape, that is famous for becoming among the world's finest crimson varietals. Characteristics - Serious red in coloring, Cabernet is really a beautiful channel to full-bodied, dried wine.

Visiting the Gold Coast and wondering how you are going to get from place to place? There are many different transport options available on the Gold Coast, and depending on where you want to go, some may be more suitable than others. The G Link Tram.

Arriving for a holiday on the Gold Coast and considering your transport options? Here are your options for getting from the airport to your accommodation. Taxi Gold Coast Cabs are the local private taxi company that provide services in and around the area.
