Currency Creek Estate is located on the eastern part of South Australia's Fleurieu Peninsula, just south of Langhorne Creek. It belongs to the Currency Creek Geographical Indication (GI) Region, a status awarded in 1969. The Viaduct name pays tribute it seems to an old railway viaduct on the property that was officially unrecognised.
A fairly simple wine, light on, nothing too complex or cerebral here. Pale straw yellow in the glass. Muted aromatics of herbal tea, citrus blossom and honey with a subtle hint of apricot fanning out to the palate.
Herbal honey and apricot notes linger for a while on the mid-palate then do a disappearing act at the end like fair weather friends.
I tried to find things to like about this blend but to no avail.
Pleasant enough effort but it failed to challenge or impress.
