2004 Pondalowie Vineyards Shiraz Viognier
5% Viognier has been co-fermented with
Totally opaque black purple colour showing outstanding saturation and glass cling. Superb, lifted nose of spice and blackberry followed by a hint of dried apricot and liquorice. The palate is as expected – mouthfilling, generous and filled with flavours of ripe blackberry and fresh liquorice. Joosy texture. Very long flavour profile, followed by very long aftertaste of liquorice, blackberry and spice.
Cellar 3-4 years (2009-2010)
Alc/Vol: 14.5%
Other Reviews...
Dense colour; riper, more dense and more complex aromas and flavours than the Shriaz; bordering viscous, with the apricot nuances of Viognier running along with multi-spice and licorice notes.
