🍷 Tasting Notes
Aroma:
-
Pronounced floral notes and spice on the nose — violet and other lifted aromatics thanks to the small Viognier component.
-
Subtle savory, earthy nuances and gentle bouquet complexity.
Palate:
-
Dark plum and black cherry fruit core with peppery spice and rich berry flavours.
-
The addition of Viognier brings brightness and aromatic lift to balance the Shiraz’s depth.
-
Hints of peppery spice, savoury complexity and moderate oak influence support the fruit.
Structure & Finish:
-
Medium to full-bodied with fine-grained tannins that lead to a savoury, moreish finish.
-
Good balance between fruit intensity and structure, making it approachable yet layered.
Overall:
A complex and expressive McLaren Vale Shiraz blend lifted by Viognier’s floral lift — showing depth of dark fruit, spice, savoury notes, and refined tannins.
