The Wine

The 'Amhora' 100% Viognier from Fleurieu Peninsula de-stemmed and crushed, fermented in an open fermenter with 45 days skin contact before fermentation in stainless steel and aged for 6 months on fine lees. 13.5% alc. 'Natural' aspects of winemaking here with the grapes grown without strict adherence to certified organic practices.

Mike Bennie on the 2019 Vintage ’Chewy, tight and chalky, lean in a way but great in that respect too. Dried apricot, mandarin, blood orange characters here and all of this shot through with a kind of garrigue and white pepper character. It’s an intriguing, wonderful, delicious wine of great personality and finesse. Yes thanks.’

On the 2021 : 94 points, Mike Bennie, The Wine Front "The 2021 is along the same lines as the 2019. An intriguing wine that really surprises. The apricot notes at the front have the right degree of subtlety and is a great combo with the flashing shades of white pepper on the back. The correct balance of acid tops off this superb value for money gem. Serious enough but also super sessionable".

The Salomon family have thoughtfully crafted this variety into a delicious easy going style. The extended skin contact has also blessed it with nice underlying complexity for its level, that will also hold the attention of the more serious enthusiasts. This wine and the ‘Wildflower’ Syrah are Salomon essays on what is possible when bringing old world palates to a new world setting! TC

About the Wine Maker

Bert and Gertrud Salomon are full-time travellers when it comes to wine. In Austria's Kremstal region on the Danube they manage their seventh-generation family estate, Salomon Undhof. Then once vintage is complete in the northern hemisphere, they fly south to Australia to manage Salomon Estate. Salomon Estate was founded in 1995, originating from great ideas and passions. The first being Bert and Gertrud’s love for the landscape around the Finniss River vineyard. Second, their enjoyment of great red wines and last but not least the enthusiasm they both have for diverse cultures. The wines here are produced off a single property located on the Finniss River, about 20km southeast of McLaren Vale, where the Adelaide Hills run into the Fleurieu Peninsula. The soils are typically gravel and sand over red and orange sandstone and the vineyard falls gently away towards the northwest providing ideal exposure, warm days ensure ripe fruit flavours while the cooling breezes which roll off the Southern Ocean in the late afternoon ensure excellent acid retention. Here, Australian robustness meets European elegance in a most convincing fashion.
