Shiraz Viognier - new popular wine style

The shiraz viognier blend has a softer feel than a full-bodies shiraz. By co-fermenting the fruit, the white viognier adds a floral dimension to the shiraz, resulting in a silky, soft finish and a liveliness to the palate.

McGuigan Shiraz Viognier has a juicy berry fruits flavour with a background vanila character. Matured in French and American oak for 12 months this wine is ready to drink now and will cellar for five years.
