2018 Signature Collection Shiraz Viognier

NOSE: Floral interludes of jasmine and blueberry flowers shine through whiffs of black forest fruits and dark olives with a touch of east Indian spice peering out.

PALATE: Delicious mouth-filling flavours of ripe blackberry, sweet cassis and lovely hints of apricot from the Viognier, deliver poise and balance through the flavour multi-layered palate. Soft, juicy tannins are well supported by a gentle spine of acidity, delivering freshness and vitality.

WINEMAKING COMMENTS: Co-harvested and co-fermented to deliver the synergy required for variety harmony. Crushed into a red fermenter and let cold soak for seven days, slowly warmed up and allowed to naturally ferment. Pressed into one and two year old barrels for six months prior to resting in stainless steel for a further six months. Minimal filtration has been performed.

FOOD MATCH SUGGESTION: Enjoy with oven roasted rabbit pie with wholegrain mustard and parsnip/red wine sauce accompanied with baked turnips and fried artichokes over a lemon rind jus.
