The first trial vintage confirmed our belief that the variety 'felt at home' in these warmer parts of the Margaret River Wine Region where it is able to achieve complete fruit ripeness. </div> <bR> <div> The vines are shoot thinned during spring to restrict the yield, and the grapes are harvested by hand at the end of February. The fruit is chilled overnight before being crushed, destemmed and then given a gentle pressing in a traditional basket press. Fermentation is carried out at about 18 degrees celsius with a small proportion of solids returned to the cold settled juice and a cultured yeast added . No oak treatment is given to the wine  to allow  retention of fruit driven characters, and to enable Viognier's natural depth of palate and vibrant floral aroma to show through. </div> <div> It is a particularly fine wine to accompany Asian foods and seafood dishes. </div> <bR> <div> <B>2007 Viognier</B> - <B>RRP</B> <B>$11.00   </B><FONT SIZE="2" COLOR="#CC3300" FACE="Arial" ><B> </B></FONT><B>     </B> <A HREF="http://www.virtualcellardoor.com/wine/11178" TARGET="_top" TITLE="http://www.virtualcellardoor.com/wine/11"><U>Click here for secure ONLINE ORDERING</U></A>  </div> <div> citrus and light musk characters, with crisp acidity balancing spicy fruit on the palate.

The wine has spent 4 years in a combination of 1 and 2 year old French barriques with a further 2 years in bottle prior to release. This extra time has allowed the harsher tannins that were present after pressing to mellow and knit together. </div> <div> This full bodied wine displays liquorice and spice aromas, followed by rich plum, black olive and dark berry characters on the palate. Soft fruit tannins and background oak complete the picture.</div> <div> Try this wine alongside a pizza with the works, or a char grilled kangaroo steak with spicy tomato relish. </div> <div> This wine has no additives and has not been filtered.

The wine was given extended time on skins for colour extraction before being pressed with a traditional wooden basket press. Two years maturation in 1 year old, medium toast, French oak barriques followed prior to bottling.</div> <div> This intensely coloured wine displays dark chocolate, black olive and blackcurrent aromas, with rich, black mulberry flavoured fruit on the palate.

The three varieties were hand picked, crushed and destemmed before fermentation in open vats with plunging of the caps occurring twice a day for two weeks. The ferments were started with wild yeasts then carried through with cultured strains at about 24 degrees celsius. The free run of each variety was combined with the pressings and matured in new, medium toast, French oak barrels for 18 months. </div> <div> The wines were then blended 50% Cabernet Sauvignon + 25% Petit Verdot + 25% Merlot to create a silky, full bodied wine with deep, blackcurrant, dark licorice and  black olive flavours balanced by rich toasted oak, and fine dusty tannins.
