Graham Beck Shiraz Viognier 2005

This unique blend reveals spiciness, hints of violets, liquorice backed with peach and apricot flavours from the Viognier. The rich and ripe Shiraz fruit is well supported by the floralness of the Viognier. A well structured wine with soft tannins and lots of spiciness and berryfruit on the finish.

Serve with rich venison, lamb and roast beef. This wine also goes well with stews.

in the cellar : The Viognier and Shiraz were crushed together. The crushed grapes were inoculated in upright stainless steel tanks and open fermenters. Skin contact was achieved through the aerated pump over and punch down techniques. The wine went through malolactic fermentation, was racked and matured in a combination of French- and American Oak barrels (35% new) for 13 months. The wine was stabilized and bottled.
