Canberra District, Australia

WineSaint

Stalky whole-bunch phenolics frame red berries and white pepper, the 6% Viognier lending aromatic lift. Silky through the mid-palate with savory charcuterie notes and dried lavender. The tannins remain angular and need time to integrate. Drink 2026-2035.

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.
