Leathery, earthy notes dominate what was once vibrant Shiraz fruit. Middle Eastern spices - cumin, coriander seed - emerge through the softness. The tannins have gone silky with age, but the wine teeters on the edge. Drink now.

Clonakilla is the Canberra District producer most responsible for establishing Shiraz Viognier as a serious Australian style, drawing comparison to the northern Rhône long before that was a fashionable claim.
