Tasting profile
Structure: medium-bodied, medium tannin, medium acidity, dry
Lerida Estate sits above Lake George on the Canberra District's eastern edge, and this follows the regional template — Shiraz with a small proportion of Viognier for aromatic lift, in the northern Rhône manner that has become the district's signature. Red cherry and dark plum with white pepper, violet and a dried-herb savour. Medium-bodied with fine tannin and the fresh acidity that altitude preserves, ageing into leather and earth rather than fading.

Where it comes from
Syrah
Syrah is a red grape from the Northern Rhône in France, responsible for some of the world's most dramatic, savoury reds.
Viognier
Viognier is a white grape from the northern Rhône Valley in France, long the signature of the tiny appellation Condrieu and a variety that came close to disappearing before a revival spread it far beyond its Rhône home.
