2024 Vinework Viognier

Aside from a slight estery/yeasty aroma, this has appealing varietal charm without the oiliness that can be linked to viognier. Lemon and white peach, a little spice and plenty of texture. Quite a glossy palate, a hint of phenolics adding to the weight, yet there’s a cleansing acidity that keeps this fresh and appealing.

2023 Wine Show of Western Australia

This is svelte and bodied, textural and satisfying. It’s a mouthful of wine but it’s shaped and mannered at the same time. It tastes of apricot kernels and sweet spice, cedar and pears. It’s lively. It’s punchy. It works very well.

Light lemon colour. Heady nose of ripe stone fruit and ground spice. Quite powerful and intense stone fruit across the palate, hints of smoky spice adding detail and character to the long line it flows along. Almost oily but just enough acidity to pull it up. Good finish, supple but clean.
