The Ma Mére Shiraz / Viognier 2018

The Ma Mère Shiraz/Viognier was inspired by my mom, Dr Susan Kossak. She is one of the smartest and most creative people I know. She is a professor, a sculptor, and a friend. The Ma Mère is a wine borne out of those very same qualities of creativity and ingenuity. The few rows of Viognier in the vineyard produced exceptional fruit, as did the Shiraz, allowing for the addition of whole bunches of Viognier to the Shiraz to produce a wonderful Hunter Shiraz with an edge of European style. Enjoy this wine with your mom, or anyone else who inspires you.

Tasting notes

The Ma Mère is a blend of 3% Viognier with 97% Shiraz. The bouquet is a subtle combination of dark fruit and spices with floral touches. An elegant palate of plum and black cherry, with hints of vanilla and earthy spices, creates a medium bodied wine with dense fruit structure.
