Proprietary Blend: 750ml

about this wine:

Another impressive offering from the Terlato & Chapoutier union is the Shiraz-Viognier. It's also uniquely blended, using the Côte Rôtie tradition of combining 5% Viognier with Syrah, which produces a spicy, aromatic wine.

"We are not interested in making wines that are anything less than beautiful and provocative," Chapoutier says. "The vineyard is young but greatness is possible."

Chuck Hayward, JJ Buckley, June 2010

A dark, opaque center as is typical of this wine. Shy at first, a good swirl coaxes aromatic notes of cocoa-dusted raspberry along with spicy and floral elements of lavender, sandalwood, and a savory note of grilled meats (Australian garrigue!) A balanced and somewhat restrained presence on the palate, there is a real juiciness and rounded, cushy fruit viscosity in the middle. Finishes with extremely fine tannins and a hint of granitic mineral. A consistently great value in sophisticated cool-climate syrah


90 points,

Wine Spectator, October 2010

Starts off with a blast of dark berry and spice, then expands into nuances of wet earth, crushed stone and coffee, the fruit rejoining the chorus on the finish. Medium-weight, with a sense of refinement underneath. Best from 2012 through 2018. 5,200 cases made. -HS (Smart buy)

About Winery

Domaine Terlato & Chapoutier combines the vision of Anthony J. Terlato, the founder of luxury importer and marketer Terlato Wines International, and Michel Chapoutier, the esteemed Rhône grower and vintner whose compelling wines have been exalted by critics around the world.

The origin of the Terlato & Chapoutier partnership in Australia dates back to 1998, when Chapoutier enthusiastically told Terlato about a top vineyard site in Australia. Located on an eastern-facing slope on the southern edge of the Pyrenees Hills in western Central Victoria, the region's soil could produce "great wines," according to Chapoutier. As Terlato recalls at the time, "When Michel asked me to join him, I found it was impossible to say no."
