Craiglee Viognier
Sunbury
Price Range at Release: $30-$49
Vintage: 2014
Alc %: 13.5
Deliciously pure, fresh and finely textured, this spicy, savoury viognier has a musky fragrance of apricot, peach, cloves and cinnamon. ItÕs long and laid-back, with a fresh, crystal-clear presence of stonefruit and gentle nutty, creamy undertones extending over a fine, chalky, faintly grippy backbone towards a pristine, drying and refreshing finish.

Craiglee
Craiglee is a tiny vineyard sited on rolling hills and pasture country on the edge of Sunbury. It’s an historic property, with an ancient gravity-fed bluestone winery and cellars that could easily be deployed again if a posse of health bureaucrats suddenly saw the light. Its vineyard is principally planted to shiraz, traditionally making a heady, spicy wine of peppery style and rare elegance. The 2010 Shiraz continues to be one of my favourite Australian wines. Unusually for such a small maker, Craiglee also keeps good stocks of back vintage releases, for which it asks very reasonable prices.
