tasting notes product
Yering Station Reserve Shiraz Viognier
vintage
2012
colour
Vibrant purple/red
nose
Lifted aromas of dark berries, pepper and spice with hints of violets and liquorice that complement the toasty, mocha oak.
palate
A concentrated palate revealing intense flavours of blackberries, spice and cedar. Tightly structured with toasty French oak characters and fine grained perisistant tannins. a complex wine that finishes long and powerful.
winemaker comment
A wonderful vintage where the fruit was able to ripen to maturity in cool conditions. Low yielding from 12-28 year old vines, only the best batches and selected barrels make it into the reserve program. We identify parcels that express regional personality and display purity, concentration and minerality.
