Clonakilla Shiraz Viognier 2008

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’s a dense, headstrong wine, chocked with blackberry, soy, eucalypt and cherry-plum flavours and flecked with trademark pepper spice. It has all its components in place, but it isn’t up and running yet. What strikes you about the wine as a youngster though is its nebbiolo-like shape. I’ve not seen this in a Clonakilla shiraz-viognier before. It’s almost light through the middle, before being strong and authoritative through the finish. Lighter in flavour but stronger in impact, perhaps. It should be great as a mature wine. - Campbell Mattinson, The Wine Front, posted July 2009, 95 Points
