An easy to drink wine with wide appeal.

97% Shiraz and 3% Viognier from Eden Valley, Barossa, South Australia.

SRP of $20 and available for as low as $12.

From the bottle:

“Rich, generous Shiraz from Eden Valley is co-fermented with 3% Viognier – The subtle, aromatic and exotic grape variety that enhances the colour and adds elegance and finesse. Bright and youthful, this is a deliciously spicy, silky and savoury wine. A Barossa stalwart with an alluring twist.

14.5% Alcohol”

The 2008 Yalumba Eden Valley Shiraz Viognier begins with aromas of cherry, blackberry, violets as well as hints of menthol, pepper, vanilla, leather and even a little chocolate. This one offers quite a complex aroma under the initial fruit and floral component. Tasting this smooth, medium-bodied wine reveals nice blackberry flavor followed by a bit of peach, likely from the Viognier. There’s also a nice streak of spice that lasts all the way through to the finish. An easy to drink wine that should have wide appeal.
