La Bri Shiraz Viognier 2007

Veritas 2008 - Silver
This wine displays a beautiful, dark, inky colour. Powerfully perfumed with sweet fruits, thyme, vanilla, fennel and violets. There is a silky, soft feel and glossy texture on the pallet that combine flavours of currents, white pepper and ethereal spice. Rich, lingering fruit and a long, pleasant finish.

AWARDS
Veritas 2008 - Silver
about the harvest: The grapes were picked fully ripe.

in the cellar : After harvesting the grapes were crushed together with the Viognier and co-fermented. Fermented at about 25° C for 1 week. No extended skin contact. Malolactic fermentation took place in barrel. The wine was then racked off malolactic lees and then matured in 95% French oak, 5% American oak for 13 months. The new wood component was 45%.

Each of our wines is linked to a specific flower- the characteristics of the wine are symbolized by that particular flower on the label.

Shiraz Viognier: Herbae (Herbs)
A Shiraz/Viognier blend is known to create powerfully perfumed aromas of fennel, thyme, rosemary, violet and oregano, much like one would experience whilst strolling through a herb garden.
