| TASTING NOTE: Since its very first vintage, The Black Chook Shiraz/Viognier has achieved an amazing 11 consecutive years of 90 points or more from the world's most authoritative wine reviewers. This not-yet-reviewed 2016 vintage serves up big aromas and flavours of blackberry jelly, licorice and peppercorn gravy with an attractive floral twist courtesy of the Viognier. Pair with peppercorn-crusted burgers or roasts. (Vintages panel, Oct. 2017) |
