2021 Philip Shaw The Dreamer Viognier

The Dreamer challenges convention and inspires innovation. Our Viognier keeps us dreaming, it is a constant reminder to question and create.

The Dreamer is light straw yellow in colour with hues of green. Fresh apricots and violets on the nose with lifts of lemon. The palate is bright and fresh with vivid acid and juicy fruit. The balance of fruit and acid give the wine depth and vibrancy.
