Clonakilla, Shiraz Viognier, Canberra District 2018

Incredibly complex aromas of baking spices, fresh red fruit and a fine and elegant, floral edge, as well as red cherries, raspberries and red plums. This is phenomenal, so precise and concentrated with such detail and power, delivered with elegance and precision. The palate is super long. The best vintage made at Clonakilla to date! Perfection! Drink now, but better from 2026. Screw cap.

This 2018 Shiraz Viognier shows impressive richness and generosity of fruit. Already expressive, it delivers dense aromas of blackcurrant, black pepper and dried herbs. A powerful and muscular palate follows, thanks to firm tannins that shape a long, embryonic finish. It’s a hearty style that needs a little time to unwind.
