Clonakilla Shiraz Viognier 2017

Chalky tannins frame concentrated dark cherry and roasted spice. The co-fermented Viognier lifts the aromatics with musky florals. Vibrant acidity cuts through the density, keeping everything fresh. Built for the long haul. This needs time to integrate. Drink 2025-2040.

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.
