The Meerea Shiraz Viognier is the wineries entry level red. As with many premium producers, this means excellent value for money. The 2004 vintage contains 94% Shiraz and 6% Viognier.
Medium red in colour, the lovely red berry fruit aromas of the Shiraz are given a floral lift by the Viognier. Medium bodied and full flavoured, both red fruits and a little plum are present on the palate. There are no apricot flavours here, however some tangy citrus peel is evident on the slightly savoury finish.
I would be drinking these now while the fruit flavours are vibrant and fresh. I really like the style, food friendly but gluggable, not a confected dark fruit and apricot monster.
