Salomon Estate Wildflower Syrah Viognier 2020

Savour a very attractive 94pt Syrah Viognier from the Salomon estate in Southern Fleurieu, owned by an Austrian winemaker (the 8th generation of a dynasty behind the very highly regarded Salomon Undhof) who, after falling in love with the region, moved his family to Adelaide in the 1980s, They now split their time between running this estate, and his estate in the premium Austrian region of Kremstal, close to Vienna. Ex-Penfold’s Mark Familo, a friend consults and Simon White (ex. Coriole) looks after things in his absence."Well, 7.5% Viognier certainly lifts the floral notes of the bouquet and takes its vibrant colour right through to the rim. It is an opulent, fleshy wine that coats every corner of the mouth, not for the first time outside the more elegant restraint of some of its siblings. 94pts" (James Halliday, The Halliday Wine Companion).
