Clonakilla Shiraz Viognier 2021
Red
Canberra District, Australia
7.5
WineSaint
Silky and perfumed, with wild strawberry and violet lifting above subtle white pepper heat. The palate floats rather than grips - all finesse and transparency, with nervy acidity carrying the fruit through a long, mineral finish. Fine-boned tannins provide just enough structure. This cool-vintage expression shows remarkable poise.
