Aromatically it is pure Syrah – briny black olive tapenade, peppery blackcurrant fruit – but on the palate the Viognier reveals itself in the more unexpected sensation of citrus peel, fennel, green olive and brings a silky fluidity. It is the harmony found between these two opposing dynamics in which the wine succeeds. Find out more.
