-----

Deep garnet-brick coloured, the 2002 The Laughing Magpie Shiraz Viognier gives notes of prunes and dried mulberry over tobacco, sandalwood, spice box and pencil lead. Open, expressive and drinking beautifully right now, the palate is very spicy with pleasant chocolate and savory flavours textured by firm velvety tannins. It finishes long with just enough freshness.

-----
There is an increasing trend to blend Shiraz with Viognier, a practice that originated in the Cote Rotie. Many people are surprised to learn that Viognier is a white grape variety which is used to lift the aromatics and add complexity to Shiraz. This wine has been matured in both French and American oak. Totally opaque black crimson colour with black crimson hue. Aroma of dark chocolate, spice, ripe plum and violets – a delightful sniff. The palate is impressive with its generous ripe fruit flavours and explosive blackpepper character over a blackberry and pencil shavings back palate. Excellent length and depth. Fine grained tannins, dry but balanced to fruit with long aftertaste of ripe plum and spice.

How many wines are in each Lot?

You will see the quantity (number of bottles) stated above the price. Please note that the bid-price is per bottle so you will need to multiply the price by the number of bottles in the lot to calculate the total price of the lot.

Is there a Guarantee on my wine?

Under Australian law, consumer guarantees do not apply to goods purchased at auction - all such purchases are at the risk of the Buyer.
