Description

This wine was made with the idea of an early release without sacrificing complexity. With its delicate and pretty character, this light Syrah Viognier showcases enticing notes of red cherries, violets, and a touch of white pepper. Its silky tannins and vibrant acidity create a smooth and elegant mouthfeel. Pair this beauty with grilled salmon or roasted duck for a delightful experience. To be enjoyed immediately and for several years, this wine will hold its own amongst older relatives.

Maturation

The Viognier was hand-picked, whole bunch pressed and fermented in tank until 3 Brix when it was moved into two French barriques to finish off its fermentation and mature until the following year before the blend. The Syrah and Malbec portions were machine harvested and fermented in separate vessels however only the Malbec portion remained on skins post ferment. The Syrah was pressed off its skins while there was still a light cap, to ensure gentle tannins were extracted – contributing to the suppleness and approachability of this wine. 1OO% oak maturation for 1O months; 15% new oak
