TASTING NOTE
A complex and enticing nose with florals, spice and some meaty savoury notes. The Shiraz delivers a solid core with dark plum, black cherry and loads of spice whilst the Viognier compliments this by adding a brightness to the wine. Fine grained tannins bring this wine to conclusion with a moreish savoury edge.

Awards & Reviews:
92 Points – Stuart Knox, The Real Review
“Dense and rich ruby hue in the glass. Mulberry and lavender aromatics. Full bodied and weighty but well balanced by a solid frame of tannins. There’s a great intensity of fruit countered by black spices and ironstone savouries that ensure you remain interested from the start to the long dry finish”
92 Points – Halliday Wine Companion, Ned Goodwin MW
“A very good Syrah. Floral, streamlined and pixelated with spicy detail. Lilac, kelp, blueberry, charcuterie and a smear of tapenade across a thread of peppery acidity and lithe, dutifully astringent tannins. The oak, a little obtuse. Full, yet deft on its feet, endowing poise and effortless drinkability.”
