2018 Ravensworth Shiraz Viognier

• Producer: Ravensworth
• Varietal: Shiraz Viognier
• Region: Canberra District
• Net volume: 750ml
• Vintage: 2018

The 2018 blend of  Shiraz (95%) and Viognier (5%) from the estate vineyard. The 2018 vintage was a bit tricky but some well timed rain helped us get through the hot summer.

A longer process has started for this vintage, after a natural ferment, including 30% whole-bunch, that was left on-skins for 6 weeks, the wine was pressed to puncheons and left for one year then the next year, matured in untoasted Stockinger foudre. No additions or encouragement. Unfined and unfiltered.

Darker and a deeper concentration with a spice driven aroma, less floral than the 2015 but still very fragrant with those exotic herbs and red fruit flavours. I really like the palate here, so silky and smooth and it builds all the time. This will definitely cellar well for around the 10 year mark but onwards if you like them old and crusty
