Y Series South Australia Shiraz Viognier 2023 - 6 Bottles

Product Description

Y Series Shiraz Viognier brings together the richness of Shiraz with a small proportion of Viognier that lifts the aromatics and adds brightness to the blend. The wine shows generous dark-fruit flavours alongside earthy, herbal and spicy notes. Blackberry, blueberry, brambleberry and dark cherry lead into a savoury finish, with the Viognier contributing aromatic lift to the dense fruit profile. The palate has good weight, fine tannins and a defined line of acidity.

Regional Character

The fruit is sourced from vineyards across South Australia. The blend reflects the region's ability to produce ripe, concentrated Shiraz while retaining freshness and aromatic detail.
