Torbreck Descendant Shiraz Viognier 2018 750ml

Torbreck Descendant Shiraz Viognier 2018 is a compelling red blend from the Barossa Valley, Australia. As the name suggests, it's crafted as a "descendant" of Torbreck's iconic RunRig, often using cuttings from the same old vine vineyards and co-fermenting Shiraz with a touch of Viognier. This technique aims to enhance the aromatic complexity and add a subtle textural element to the rich Barossa Shiraz.   Tasting Note: Nose: An intensely aromatic nose brimming with ripe blackberries and dark plums, interwoven with lifted floral notes of apricot and violet from the Viognier. Hints of spice, such as cinnamon and pepper, and a touch of dark chocolate add further intrigue. Palate: The palate is rich and full-bodied, displaying concentrated dark fruit flavors of blackberry and blueberry. The co-fermented Viognier contributes a subtle textural roundness and a hint of white peach. Well-integrated tannins provide structure, leading to a long and softly dusty finish with lingering notes of fruit and spice. This vintage shows excellent balance and aging potential
