Alights to flavours of plum choc/fruit and spice, unfolds layers of raspberry and cocoa, bramble and mint. A satisfying drop by virtue of it's supple tannins and fruit driven styling. Sandpiper will charm the pants off a garlic lamb and go down nicely with a juicy, pink breast of baby duckl.

Viognier

Doesn't hold back in terms of essential Barossa fruit character, brooding dark cherry, carobs and spiced plum, hints of floral, mudcake and gardiniera. Medium bodied, supported by viscous tannins that cling to the fruit, the entire piece being lightly framed by obsequious, old world oak, before a long, drying finish.

Like you're really there. Bouquets of meadow, lemons and lime, grasses, racy and vital, so crisp that it goes crunch, crunch all the way down. Finishing dry and clean, chargrilled fishes are the perfect match.
