2019 Clonakilla, Shiraz Viognier, Canberra District, Australia

Description

6% co-fermented Viognier. Yields were 20% reduced.

Deep, bright red/purple colour with a fragrant sweet-spice aroma, white pepper, cloves—an assortment of spices, nicely harmonised, nothing dominating too much. The wine is medium-bodied but very intense with a long carry, and firm, tightly-coiled tannins on the follow-through. A beautifully perfumed, harmonious, fine but intense wine.

Drink 2021 - 2033

Critics reviews

Alistair Cooper MW 17.5/20

Youthful nose and a little shy at the moment. Ripe dark fruits and firm tannins, beautifully put together and has real depth – needs a long time.

About this wine

Canberra District

Canberra District

Despite being relatively young compared to other Australian wine regions, the Canberra District has quickly gained recognition for producing elegant, complex red and white wines. The vines in this region thrive on its cool climate, characterised by warm summer days and cool nights, ideal for cultivating grape varieties such as Riesling, Chardonnay, Shiraz, Cabernet Sauvignon, and Pinot Noir.
