DON'T MISS OUT on your chance to enjoy these five exclusive varieties!
The Region: The warm climate and rich sandy loam soils of Australia's Riverland region could produce high yields, but the artisan grape growers at Salmon Gum Vineyards remove half the fruit at budburst and limit irrigation. With smaller numbers of berries and water-stressed vines, the resultant grapes display highly concentrated flavor, aroma and body.
The Wine: Blending red and white grapes brings lush balance to this lively, deep garnet wine. Ripe berry fruit and violet aromas from the Shiraz are balanced by floral and stone fruit notes from the Viognier, with beguiling hints of orange blossom followed by toast and smokiness. There's sufficient acidity to give it structure, but the overall impression is soft and velvety. The long, gentle finish is ripe and appealing with surprising complexity.
