REGION/COUNTRY - McLAREN VALE, SOUTH AUSTRALIA
2005 KANGARILLA ROAD McLaren Vale Viognier
From a tiny boutique winery in McLaren Vale which has a climate similar to Bordeaux except, in the words of one winemaker, it never rains and it's never frosty. Their Chardonnay is jam-packed with fruit, superbly balanced with acidity, oak and tannin
Kangarilla Road is an internationally sucessful wine brand from McLaren Vale in South Australia. Not only making some of the wines you'd expect from this region, Kangarilla are also producing some unusual varietes such as primitivo and zinfandel.
The viognier is a fresh aromatic and citrus driven modern style complimented by a balanced use of oak with 30% of the wine fermented in new French oak Barriques. The wine matured for 9 months with occasional barrel stirring. This oak component is unobtrusive yet critical to the overall aroma and flavour of the final wine. Think sweet citrus marmalade...
