Hangin' Snakes Shiraz 2019
There is only two percent viognier in the mix, but it does what it is supposed to do: lift the shiraz off the floor and give the wine a kickstart. The nose is aromatic with plums and blueberries mixed with soft, sweet fruit and plenty of savoury notes. It is a wine for the barbecue: rich, round and drinkable. A great wine for summer backyard parties.
