2018 Lark Hill Dark Horse Vineyard Shiraz Viognier, Canberra District

Shiraz and 4% Viognier were field blended from our Murrumbateman vineyard, where deep granite soils and moderate climate produce ripe, vibrant fruit. A small proportion of whole bunches are used in the ferment to provide balance and structure to the plush fruit. After fermentation the wine is filled to new, one and two year old French Oak barrels for 12 months maturation. The resulting wine shows dense black cherry fruit, spice notes of clove, musk and pepper, and lifted bright florals.
