2023 Ravensworth Estate Shiraz Viognier

WINEMAKER: Ravensworth
REGION: Canberra District 
VARIETY: Shiraz Viognier
VITICULTURE: Processed to 15% whole bunch, the rest whole berry in 10hl fermenters with indigenous yeast and bacteria biom. 3-6 weeks on skins. Pressed to new and used 228l French coopered barriques for one year then transferred to 27hl foudre for second year

Our beautiful, perfumed, cool-grown Shiraz with that seasoning of viognier that seems to bring the wine to life. Coming up to 20 years since we got our first crop and you can see it in the wine, a rising complexity of aroma, flavour and texture. Super aromatic floral, spice and red fruit, silky texture. Just seems so together as a young wine but we know they gracefully age and generally recommend a 7-10 year window.
