Wirra Wirra Scrubby Rise Sem Sav Viognier 2006

Unusual blend, could be accused of a left over grapes job, but it appears to work quite well. Clearly sauvignon blanc based on the nose with a herbaceous, grassy edge, but more generic dry white to taste. Not a bad thing as it is quite competently made for a low to mid teens dollar wine? The Viognier is used well, not so much as a flavour additive but more in texture. The classic soft, viscous palate weight fills the wine out nicely. A touch spirity on the finish. Beats the Jacob’s Creek chardonnay hand down in the two horse race that is Qantas economy class.
