2006 Syrah Viognier
Tasting Note:
With dark vibrant red colour and chocolate, spicy black cherry aromas, this blend has plenty of appeal. The taste is full flavoured but elegant and soft with a velvety finish.
Independents Note:
The first impression is very red fruit but underneath there are hints of black. Sweet fruit shows on the palate nicely refreshed by some mid acidity. The raspberry and mulberry mix has a touch of spice all adding to the complexity.

Vinification
The mild 2006 season resulted in excellent grape quality and produced many outstanding reds. This low cropping Syrah vineyard was harvested in late March and co-fermented with a small amount (5%) of Viognier a common practice in France so as to produce very soft, full bodied wines.
After fermentation the wine was aged in French oak for 14 months before bottling.
