Being further north and warmer means that the Syrah we get from Harvey always arrives at the start of harvest; in 2023 it arrived the day before we handpicked our Boyup Brook Viognier.  After pressing off enough Viognier for two barrels of white wine, we threw the remaining grapes into a vat of Shiraz and co-fermented them together.  Traditionally 3-5% Viognier is be added to Shiraz to add a pretty perfume and stabilise colour; we went super hardcore and added around 35%.  The resulting wine is bright, fruit driven and fragrant; lighter bodied and super slurpable, but with a long, silky, serious finish.  Feel free to chill and make sure you get your “silky pants” on!  Bottled unfined and unfiltered, with maximum flavour.
