There’s something about the colour, its vibrancy, its deep purple potency, that immediately draws you in. Viognier might bring its powerful aromatics to this Shiraz partnership, but it also brings a real shimmery presence. From there, it’s a natural flow into a dark, spice-fuelled world. Lifted aromas of aromatic rose, violet, dark cherries and discreet woodsy spiced oak. The palate brings the perfect juxtaposition of savoury notes and deep fruited concentration dressed smartly in integrated oak and fine tannins. This is one sleek, super smart young Shiraz Viognier capable of extended time in the bottle.
