Shiraz Viognier

Shiraz, Viognier

The icon. James Halliday called it "one of the best wines in Australia." Inspired by Guigal's Côte-Rôtie, Tim Kirk co-ferments estate Shiraz with Viognier from the family's Murrumbateman vineyard at 600 metres elevation. Cool-continental nights preserve the aromatic perfume that makes Canberra District Shiraz unlike anything else: violet, pepper, red cherry, iron and silk. Langton's Exceptional. Regularly scores 97-100 points.
