TASTING NOTES

The Laughing Magpie Shiraz Viognier was created using 93% Shiraz grapes and just 7% Viognier grapes. These grapes were co-fermented, foot treaded and basket pressed. This resulted in a dazzling blend displaying a deep garnet hue, and purple highlights lurking throughout. The fragrant nose exudes pleasing aromas of dark fruits, spice, earth and dried herbs. The luscious palate contains enticing flavours of sage and black olive. These attractive characters are supported by balanced acidity and fine tannins, eventually paving the way for a persistent finale. This wonderful red blend from d’Arenberg Wines has been crafted for consumption in its youth. It can also be stored for 10 years from vintage for a rewarding drinking experience. Pair it with rare rib steak, Spanish tapas or a variety of Italian cuisine.
