Spinifex 'La Maline' Shiraz Viognier (2008)

A new name, but the same style remains. This wine is pure class, with seemless Shiraz fruit blending in subtle fashion with a dash Viognier. The aromatics of the Viognier stand out on the nose where floral notes meet a dash of pepper. The Shiraz fruit is vibrant in colour and taste, displaying spicy blackberries lifted with bouncy acidity, all travelling backwards on the palate. A very polished effort and definitely one for the cellar.
