This is another well-crafted Shiraz Viognier from the Sapling Yard team of Malcolm Burdett and Carla Rodeghiero.
The 3% Viognier component contributes a silky, floral feel to the blend.
The cool-climate Shiraz varietal characteristics deliver in abundance the range of aromas and flavours expressing black cherries, spice, violets and a waft of white pepper.
The unfiltered and lees contact framing provides a tight, astringent mid-palate allowing the generous youthful fruit flavours to swirl and seduce to yet another sip.
