This cool climate Shiraz is grown in deep and ancient river stone and is also unirrigated. The small percentage of Viognier enhances the spiciness of the Shiraz and tends to round off the middle palate.
A sensational example of a cool climate Shiraz/ Viognier; smooth, round and a long finish.
Cellar up to ten years. Best value Shiraz Viognier you will find!

| | | | The 2004 Shiraz is a great example of cool climate Shiraz at it’s aromatic best. An impressive nose, full of interest and packed with ripe fruit and spice. Lifted vanillin oak meets plum compote, cigar box and warm leather in an alluring blend of heady perfumes.
|
| | The 3% Viognier lifts the intensity of the fruit flavours, adds its own spiciness which rounds off the richly textured and concentrated palate. The wine has great power and structure with abundant tannins.
|
| | | | | | This impressive wine would hold its own with a seared well-aged rib eye.

| |  | | "Kel Boynton celebrates his 20th year at Porepunkah this year. His signature wine has always been the shiraz. These days, Boynton adds a little viognier giving his shiraz a gorgeous translucent colour and lifted aromatic perfume. Choc-berry and autumnal notes on the nose are followed through on the palate with raspberry, blackberry fruits and nutmeg spice. Medium bodied and very food friendly"
