A refined, full-bodied white with aromas of white peach, apricot, ginger, and cardamom. The palate offers a creamy texture with flavors of ripe stone fruits, subtle spice, and a mineral finish.

The grape

Viognier

Best known in Northern Rhône, Languedoc

An aromatic Rhône white grape. Apricot, peach and honeysuckle, with a rich, almost oily texture and fairly low acidity. It is the grape of Condrieu, and in Côte-Rôtie a little is sometimes added to Syrah for perfume.

Where it's from

Barossa Valley

Australia

The Barossa is Shiraz country, full stop. Some of the world's oldest Shiraz vines — over 150 years — grow here in red, iron-rich soils, producing wines of extraordinary concentration, depth and longevity. Eden Valley within the Barossa adds cooler altitude and brilliant Riesling.
