Graham Beck Shiraz Viognier 2010

Delightfully aromatic and spicy. This unique blend reveals mulberry and black cherry fruit balanced by a spicy freshness. The rich and ripe Shiraz fruit is well supported by the floral scents from the Viognier.

A well structured wine with soft tannins and roasted spiciness with sweet berry fruit on the finish.

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