Generally agreed to be the benchmark for Shiraz Viognier in Australia. However, in 2007, a frost decimated the crop to yield only 150 dozen instead of the usual 2000 dozen. Dark crimson. Notes of black pepper, spice and cooked meat. Tannins still need to soften and are hiding the minimal fruit which is showing cherry flavours. A curio.
