Inspired by the great Shiraz wines of the Northern Rhone in France. This wine contains Shiraz from the best elevated vineyards in Great Western and is co-fermented with a small amount of Viognier. The viognier helps brighten the colour, lift the aromatics and polish the Shiraz flavours on the palate.
Best's ancient clone and clone 1654, plus 2% viognier, 15% whole bunches, closed fermenters for 8 days, then pressed to used oak for 12 months maturation. How can 2% viognier give the wine the exotic perfume it has, and the ravishingly seductive palate? The answer is that it's the shiraz, not the viognier.

Very attractive and vibrant red berries with spices and peppery nuances in abundance. The palate has a very silky, fleshy and juicy edge with spicy raspberry and red-plum flavors, set amongst silky, ribbon-like tannins. Drink or hold. Screw cap.
