2021 McKellar Ridge Wines Shiraz Viognier, Canberra District

Always a good show of deep plum fruit and spice with the French oak barriques (25% new) adding cedary flavour and support.

It’s delightfully spicy and a little peppery, with tangy, juicy acidity and tannins holding sway. Another year in bottle will have this in complete harmony, although it is already a smart wine. JF 13.4% alc. RRP $50 / Drink 2023–2031 / McKellar Ridge Wines www.mckellarridgewines.com.au
