Churchview Limited Release Shiraz Viognier 2024

An excellent value example of this Rhone, specifically Cote Rotie, blend from Margaret River. Deep purple with a blue haze, the wine exudes attractive aromas with notes of chocolate, apricot skins, spices, red and black cherries, beef stock, a hint of lemongrass, blueberries and black fruits. At this stage, it is still coming together, but it is right on track. Impressive now, it will only be more so in the years to come. The palate sees emergence of plummy notes, and it seems a little more complete than the nose might have suggested. The wine has fine acidity, good balance, very good length and finishes with sleek tannins. Enjoy it over the next eight years.
