A few quirky ones along with the classics: Syrah-Viognier from an Austrian winemaker in the marine climate of the Fleurieu Peninsula south of Adelaide, old vine Garnacha from northern Spain, a powerful but elegant Priorat, and an Argentine Malbec and Syrah blend with a decidedly European wine-making style.
