2013 Reserve Shiraz

The 2013 Reserve Shiraz is a wine made only when conditions produce the best grapes, full of aromatics and flavour.

It is a wine where Shiraz and Viognier are blended in a ratio of 97 percent Shiraz and 3 percent Viognier.  The wine has a soft round bouquet of berries followed by rich red berry flavours, black pepper, and a hint of toast.  It has a supple mouthfeel with firm tannins and a long clean finish.
