Description
The flagship of Clonakilla, their Shiraz Viognier, is created from a careful selection of the highest quality Shiraz Viognier parcels they craft each year from their Murrumbateman vineyard.
It leaps from the glass with wonder on its lips.
Plums and florals and spices and meats take a walk through a garden, woodsmoke suggested, summer alive.
It’s elegant and refined and yet it’s all there, it’s all open.
It gets you in the feels; it has a kind of satiny confidence, like it knows that it’s good and it knows that you’ve noticed.
Fine fingers of tannin, curry leaf notes, berries.
Florals here as mentioned but maybe not as pronounced as usual, as if viognier and shiraz have become one.
Still there’s nothing reserved about this wine.
Nothing.
It’s just all there, ready, perfect.
