K1 ‘Silver Label’ Shiraz Viognier 2006

A uniquely flavoured part of the vineyard was vinified separately to the K1 Gold Label Shiraz and co-fermented with Viognier to add it's floral and white peach notes, as a perfect match to the earthy Shiraz. This wine is proudly presented as the K1 Silver Label Shiraz Viognier for the first time as the 2006 vintage.

Juicy aromas of raspberry jam, liquorice and honeysuckle are lifted by Shiraz black pepper and Viognier white pepper with earthy chocolate. The wine is sweet and spicy on the front palate, with soft tannins and lingering earthiness.

This is a versatile wine, with the ability to match similarly spicy foods. Challenge it with a meaty curry and turn up the heat, or simply enjoy it's silky charms alone.
