Clonakilla Shiraz Viognier 2015

Savory complexity dominates from the start. Cured meat, five-spice, whole bunch signatures threading through concentrated blackberry fruit. The texture shows real sophistication: firm tannins completely integrated, creating tension that drives the long finish. Already compelling but built for the cellar. Drink 2025-2035.

Clonakilla

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.
