McGuigan BIN 736 Shiraz Viognier

This review is for the 2012 vintage

A lovely, soft, easy drinking wine. Enough character to make it an interesting wine. We will not lay it down - why wait when it is very good now?

this was unexpectedly a good wine, full bodied, plenty of flavours

Fragrant Viognier evident which boosts the fruity Shiraz with a nice punch of spice

Well worth the discounted price; good with grills and casseroles or even a glass on it's own.

a nice red wine good value for the money drinkablle at anytime or with anything I personaly think thank you to Tesco for value.

This must be one of the best value reds around. We were introduced to it at a Burns' Supper with some friends, a couple of whom including the host, are closer to 'experts' than we are....it was the only red we drank all night and it went down beautifully! There is a complete absence of the sharpness we have come to expect with the value Shiras wines and that pairing with the Viognier grape is a stroke of genius......we and our friends have drunk our way through several cases since and I sincerely hope you have plenty of stock as we will want more!

A light smooth red, easy on the palate but quite robust.

Have been a fan on McGigans for a long time having been to their place in the Hunter Vallet. A very mellow wine which is easy to drink after a hard day.

Not a real red wine drinker find sometimes they are too harsh. But MCGUIGAN Shiraz is one I drink and enjoy just perfect.

I bought this wine as it was on special offer, I have purchased McGuigan's Shiraz before and it was very good but this one was even better. very smooth a great wine to drink with meats and cheese. I initially bought a couple of bottles in-store and then purchased 2 cases on-line as it was still on special offer - highly recommended

Really wasn't keen on this wine. Has a really bland taste, no character. I kept it in the cupboard for use in cooking

Not a big fan of McGuigans but this is a good basic everyday offering. A bit light for my taste but still some fruit on offer and worth a punt.

Fir the price this is one of the best wines I've had. Very drinkable.

An enjoyably drinkable medium bodied red at a modest price.

Excellent Aussie Shiraz softened with Viognier. Very very drinkable.

Probably my husbands favourite red at the moment soft and well rounded flavours really nicely balanced with just a hint of tart at the finish

Excellent service by Tesco.The store and their team went all of the way to please .

We like the strong, berried Australian wines - Shiraz is a favourite grape and Viognier is a grape we seek out for red and white wines. The combination works very well here.

nice and light red wine not too heavy but very enjoyable

I have bought this wine on several occasions so that speaks for itself. The description on the bottle is spot on and not OTT. I have served this to friends and all remarked on how much they liked it. It will be bought again.

This wine is very nice but very powerful it tends to creep on you but is quite light to drink. Lovely round smooth finish.Had quite a few of this make and they are all very pleasant will be again.

Always a reliably smooth wine. Excellent value for the money.A regular tipple for me.

This is a bit thin. Not very enjoyable. Having had a slightly more expensive McGuigan was expecting better

A great wine for just drinking - just too easy to finish the bottle

Have been buying this wine for sometime and it never disappoints especially at the reduced price, when it is hard to beat at this price. The quality of this wine you often don't find in a much more expensive wine even when bought at a non reduced price. Definately one of my favourite reds.

Have been a fan of Mcguigans for many years. Unfortunately on this occasion I have to say that this wine falls well below the usual standard of affordable quality associated with the brand. Even when you consider the discount available this wine was very disappointing.

Mcguigan has a good reputation for producing consistently good wine . My husband loves their Shiraz but I find it a bit full bodied .This delightful blend with the Viogner grape is gorgeous , just a little softer & lighter than pure Shiraz . I love it but I have now converted my husband to it (goody) so it is the one I now order.

The blend of Shiraz/voignier produces an intense rich berry fruit flavour with slight tannin overtones. there are hints of chocolate and marzipan. It;s youngness is refreshing but I am sure that forgotten in the cupboard for a couple of years, it would be something very special,

Great tasting wine, very reasonably priced. Would recommend and will be buying again.

I have lot of wine from Tesco, so disappointed with this one. Smooth and 'velvety' it is not. Will be giving as much of it away as possible this Christmas. YUK.

This wine is a bit lighter than some shiraz due to the mix but still full of flavour. Would only buy when on offer.

A full bodied wine that holds its own with winter foods but also is very good on its own.This is lovely quality wine at a very good price. I will buy this again.

Bought a couple of cases for a party and it went down very well. Have bought a couple of cases since. (Some labels have the award on and some do not, but appears to still be the same) Worth a try I you want something slightly lighter than the regular Auz Shiraz.

I love the depth and flavour of this wine and buy it whenever it is on special offer. The Shiraz grape is my favourite and I rarely buy any other

They say in life you get what you pay for and that was so true with this wime. It was in the half price sale and i paid around £4 a bottle which you can't grumble at but if it had been full price i would not have been happy. The fine was very light and not the usual full bodied that i would have expect from and australian shiraz. The wife thought it was very nice which always worries me. All i can add is that this is no WOLF BASS andi with Christmas coming up i know where the rest of my case will be going. Mould wine , school raffles etc

Hubby says its good :0) and I should buy it again :0)

Fantastic value for money would recommend. Very pleased with this wine

Good wine smooth pleasant taste, excellent value for money

A a well bodied red, better drunk in the evening I've found, can't really say why but not a lunchtime tipple. Also this one does benefit from breathing a little while, I'm no wine buff as you will have been able to tell by now but I did buy rather a lot of cases at a low low price and it's only what I've noticed while enjoying this wine. So the flavour of the wine, not what you might call classic but some wonderfully soft red berry fruity flavours, not overpowering in any way, apparently Viognier grapes are usually associated with white wine but don't let that put you off! All in all, a very enjoyable red wine that won't embarrass itself, probably not worth the original asking price but definitely when it's on offer!

The hint of Viognier in this Shiraz lends a smoothness to the typical Shiraz tannin which leads to a balanced and satisfying taste.

We enjoyed this wine. Flavours intensified after opening and I'll unscrew another bottle soon.

Bought this as we had tried McGuigann wines before and liked them. This one was a little too light and we did not think velvety or smooth. The half bottle that was left was used for cooking the next day.

I have now been drinking Shiraz Viognier for about 4 years. This is a great wine.

Terrifically smooth.An excellent combination of these two grapes. However, the spicey taste usually found in a shiraz was still noticeable.
