This is a medium-bodied red wine with an expressive nose and a soft, lush mouth-feel. The shiraz and cinsault combine to give ripe plum cherry fruit on the palate with a touch of pepper spice. Mourvedre adds complexity with savoury and dark fruit aromas. The viognier adds softness and intriguing floral notes.
