Clonakilla, Shiraz Viognier, Canberra District 2019

This 2019 vintage of Shiraz Viognier spent a full 18 months in French oak, rather than the standard 12 months, crafting a particularly robust and powerful wine. It’s incredibly impressive and perfectly formed as it bursts with dark berry fruits, black pepper, smoke and meat beautifully framed by high-quality oak. Fantastic density and energy follow with waves of youthful fruit full of vitality, all supported by ample tannins through to an incredibly long finish. A standout that is built for the cellar.
