The French have long been adding a little white, including Viognier and Roussanne, to their Shiraz in Châteauneuf-du-Pape to create complex and age-worthy wines. So we knew that Steve Grimley wasn't going mad when he suggested this blend for the 5OS Project using prestige fruit. Made from 91% McLaren Vale Shiraz with 9% of Roussanne slipped in for good measure it's certainly expressive! Lovely inky aromatics of real dark fruit entwined with black olives and soothing vanilla oak. The palate is ripe, soft and generous without being overblown.

Steve Grimley
"This is a blend of Shiraz from our oldest grower Nat McMurtrie and Roussanne from Yangara. It was co-fermented in 2 ton opens for approximately 10 days which other than combining a red and white variety, is all pretty straight forward. We were aiming to make a fragrant, silky Shiraz without losing any of the traditional oomph and generosity our region and the variety are renowned for." - Steve Grimley, Winemaker.
