Voyager Estate Shiraz 2005
A sumptuous, smooth and polished Margaret River shiraz that avoids the excessively tomato-like and greenish elements not uncommon with shirazes from this region. Its slightly meaty and gamey aromas of cassis, violets, dark chocolates and cedar are lifted by a viognier-enhanced floral perfume. Framed by firm, pliant tannins, it is long and lavishly oaked, expressing a luscious, meaty and powerfully accentuated shade of dark berry/plum flavour. Finishing with a lingering core of fruit and licorice-like spices, it’s very balanced and savoury.

Winery
Voyager Estate
With a string of consistently fine wines across its entire portfolio, Voyager Estate is one of Margaret River's elite producers. It has achieved this without emulating the styles of other local makers, evolving its own stamp and signature of elegance and savoury qualities which its southerly location in the region encourages
Its estate brings traditional South African Cape Dutch architecture to the region and it certainly provides one of the region's finest visitor experiences. Voyager is steadily increasing the number of wines it produces, working through a series of 'project wines' to refine what eventually become its flagship wines.
