Discovery Shiraz Viognier 2022

Drink now or cellar for 5 - 10 years.

The 2022 growing season received low rainfall, which was ideal for the ripening of the two components of this blend.

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.

Pair with tomato and oregano pizza or salami and cheese.

91 Points & Silver Medal – 2024 The Real Review

"Medium-deep red with a good purple tint; there are red and darker berry aromas, plum and raspberry, fruit driven and straightforward, with a core of sweet fruit which bears a subtle floral overtone from the viognier. The tannins are well judged and provide good support. Excellent value at the price.” – Stuart Knox
