This really is cracking wine from the Über Cool Mornington Peninsula. This Shiraz includes a 5% Viognier component and was matured for 15 months in a combination of new and used barriques.
The bouquet of this wine has spicy blackberry fruit combined with the subtle but distinctive aromatics of viognier. On the palate, the wine has plum/blackberry fruit flavours followed by some black pepper. Good length. Fine-grained tannins with long aftertaste of blackberry, liquorice and black pepper. An excellent cool-climate Shiraz.
