This shiraz was co-fermented with a small volume of Viognier to add lift and perfume to the nose and produce a rounder mouth-feel. Deep red in colour, the nose shows perfumed dark blackberry fruit, interwoven with spice and toasty vanillin notes. The palate is medium bodied with fleshy dark liquorice/berry fruit,spicy notes and a soft grippy tannin finish.

Medium purple-crimson; a welcoming bouquet of perfumed black fruits and perfectly balanced oak leads into a medium-bodied palate, the balance good, the length better still; fine tannins intermingle with lighter fruit notes on the finish and aftertaste.
