Christmas Countdown – Vinea Marson Heathcote Shiraz Viognier 2013

Delicious. Divine. Disarming….

Yep, only 209 days until Christmas and like Molly Meldrum famously said, “Do yourself a favour…”, and grab this absolute ripper. The Vinea Marson Heathcote Shiraz Viognier 2013 is so off the charts it’s not funny; ripe raspberry, silky smooth tannins, earthy notes, black olive.

Could you imagine this with a juicy roast beef sitting in the middle of the Christmas lunch table? But who can wait that long; not me. Just imagine this then sitting in a glass with tonights dinner where all it will set you back is $40. Yes please….

#Drank/Drunk this week – Lorca Fantasia Argentina Torrontés 2015

White wine doesn’t always have to be about the acid. Acid is good, don’t get me wrong, but sometimes it’s just all too hard and clunky with little or no balance. Not this bad boy!!!! The Lorca Fantasia Argentina Torrontés 2015 with Torrontés widely grown in South America and for me is similar to Viognier but more versatile. torrontes

So the wine. Brimming with subtle apricot and brine on the nose, the wine opens up with a little more generous primary apricot with more stone fruit such as locuts coming through the longer in the glass. The back palate though is where the balance comes in to it’s own with an oily texture married perfectly with a salty/briny texture.

Just #ACE and always $26
