Canberra District Shiraz Viognier 2015

See previous notes for this Cuvée - a Shiraz Viognier from the ACT made by Bryan Martin who is the winemaker at the nearby and famous Clonakilla, for Tim Kirk. Pepper and Spice with Charcuterie - in fact like a junior version of Clonakilla. Interestingly the large label has pencil images of charcuterie in a butcher’s shop. Also excellent QPR. My last bottle. — 22 days ago

Hunter Valley Chardonnay 2014

A rich Chardonnay from an excellent vintage in the Hunter Valley. Luscious stone fruit notes on the palate, showing its warm climate origins. Low acid. Mealy. Stylistically not dissimilar to the Shafer Carneros Chardonnay had recently. — 25 days ago

@Andrew Cullimore Thanks Andrew. You went to the cellar door in the Hunter Valley if I recall correctly?

Unfortunately I didn’t go to Lakes Folly as there was a big sign on the drive way saying ‘latest releases sold out ‘ , I had the 2022 in a restaurant in the region … it was round and generous, enjoyable .
