Brindabella Hills Aureus Viognier Chardonnay 2007 – Canberra District
1 Silver, 1 Bronze Medal
In a case of Rhone meets Burgundy, Roger Harris blends tank-fermented Viognier with barrel-fermented chardonnay to produce a delicious, fresh, richly textured dry white. While chardonnay tempers viognier's opulence, the plush, apricot-like flavour of Viognier remains unmistakable in the wine. It's juicy and ready to drink now but I suspect that it'll fatten up with age.
