If you are a wine geek, you know of ‘co-fermentation’; a process in which two varieties (in this case, red Shiraz and white Viognier) are picked on the same day and blended at the crusher. This produces a result quite different to blending finished wines. The tannin and fragrance of the small amount of Viognier are amplified by the process, and the resultant wine is more fragrant and shows greater depth and even-ness of tannin structure than we’d otherwise see. (We swiped the idea from the French.)

Vintage 2016
Vineyard Various Vineyard
Region MCLAREN VALE
Grape Varieties 96% Shiraz 4% Viognier
Winemaker's Notes There aren’t many times I can think of when adding a lighter colour leads to a darker one but the Jekyll is just that kind of paradox. By co-fermenting the varieties the Viognier skins help the colour molecules to form more stable complexes, and thereby create a darker colour.
Drink Now through 5 years to make the most of the heady fruit characters.
Bouquet Fragran torange blossom, jasmine, and violets.
Palate Toasty oak, peach notes, more plums, and firm French oak. The resonant, lingering palate manages to be both structured and soft textured – like a favourite pair of jeans.
Food Match Classic Coq Au Vin served with heavily buttered mashed potatoes.
Analysis TA: 6.39 g/L, pH: 3.58, ALC: 14.5%
