Style: A limited-edition wine made from single vineyard fruit grown on our estate in the Pyrenees.
Tasting Notes: This wine displays stonefruit and lifted floral notes derived from Viognier, this is complemented by the spice and rich red berry flavours of the Shiraz. With a medium-bodied, fruit-driven palate this wine provides a smooth and extended finish with vibrance and complexity.
Region: Pyrenees, Victoria, Australia
Variety: Shiraz 89%, Viognier 11%
Vintage: The 2022 growing season received low rainfall, which was ideal for the ripening of the two components of this blend.
Winemaking: The varieties were harvested and fermented together, using traditional open fermentation techniques. The wine underwent malolactic fermentation in a combination of new and seasoned French oak and was aged for 8 months prior to blending. Selected from small batches of co-fermented Shiraz and Viognier, this blend was created using small open-top fermenters. A proportion of each variety was left as whole-bunch to add complexity to the finished wine, which was then aged in a combination of new and old French oak.
