Shiraz / Viognier

Shiraz/Viognier is an increasingly popular wine in Australia. This a blend of two grape varieties, Shiraz, the most popular Australian red wine variety and Viognier, a white wine variety from the Northern Rhone region of France. The famous Cote-Rotie is made from this blend, where it is grown on step terraces in the warm climate of the Northern Rhone. Viognier adds another dimension, it is used to lift Shiraz, making it more fragrant and slightly softer. The best examples have the Shiraz and Viognier co-fermented, rather than being blended together later. This allows the wine to be more harmonious and usually makes the Viognier less obvious.

YERING STATION SHIRAZ VIOGNIER 2007, 750ml (Bottle)

  • Deep crimson purple; the frost and smoke ravaged 07 vintage resulted in a journey to Heathcote to bolster the make; sensitive and experienced winemaking has produced the goods, even if the wine is more luscious than the usual more elegant style. Screwcap. Rating 94 Drink 2021 James Halliday
  • Classic, intense youthful Shiraz Viognier nose, fragrant and perfumed, classy with loads of dark fruit, spices and pepper, violets and blackberry jam.
  • A well structured palate with precision and intensity. Lots of flavour and pristine fruit, very long and focused, solid but complimentery tannins combine with supple oak to support the palate.

GUIGAL COTE ROTIE 'LA LANDONNE' 2003, 750ml (Bottle)

  • Dense purple to the rim with a nose of graphite, creosote, earth, olives, and black, black, black fruits, the primordial, full-bodied, monumental 2003 Cote Rotie La Landonne is amazing stuff. I suspect this is more akin to a dry vintage port than most Cote Roties ever tend to be, but the purity, the richness, the texture, the length are all out of this world. This wine does need some patience on the part of its purchasers, probably five years, more likely 8-10, but then one of the world's most compelling elixirs will be at its peak for another 20-30+ years.

GUIGAL COTE ROTIE 'LA MOULINE' 2003, 750ml (Bottle)

  • The 2003 Cote Rotie La Mouline is by far the most delicate and elegant wine (11% Viognier is co-fermented with 89% Syrah). but the enormous aromatics of spring flowers intermixed with creme de cassis, black raspberry, mocha, caramel, and cola, and enormous full-bodied opulence and striking velvety, seamless texture make for one of the most memorable wines anyone could every drink. This wine should age effortlessly for 25-30 or more years. Robert Parker

GUIGAL COTE ROTIE 'LA TURQUE' 2003, 750ml (Bottle)

  • A pure aromatic smorgasbord is offered by the 2003 Cote Rotie La Turque, which has an amazing aromatic profile of espresso coffee interwoven with scorched earth, tar, truffle, incense, blackberry, bacon fat, and flowers. Powerful, thick flavors ooze across the palate with a viscous texture, amazing purity, and just enough acidity and tannin to give uplift and precision to this remarkable tour de force in winemaking. Of the 2003s, this is also approachable, but ideally 2-5 years of cellaring would be suggested, and the wine will evolve for at least 30 more years.
