2010 Clonakilla Shiraz Viognier 750ml

2010 Clonakilla Shiraz Viognier 750mlIt has been a remarkable journey for Clonakilla. When John Kirk planted the first vines in 1971 he had no idea that his vineyard would one day be celebrated as one of the best in the country. Along the way there have been trials and tribulations as well as moments of unprecedented success. Over time something important has become clear: Murrumbateman and Shiraz are one of those rare combinations in the world of wine that can produce something truly

and intensely flavoured

or an eagle eye in the cellar and plenty of patience

the 2015 Chardonnay reached a summit that Rick had long been climbing

slow-cooked beef

bitter chocolate infusing the black cherries with toasty

but that's utterly delicious now

It's dense and tightly wound when first opened but with air

mixture of barrels

sits in the silty

This approach creates a wine of layered complexity

a refreshing Martini

From 1898 plantings on the Central Vineyard
