Clonakilla Shiraz Viognier

Clonakilla · Canberra District · Australia

Clonakilla Shiraz Viognier is an red wine from Australia, in the Canberra District region (Cool-climate high country around Canberra in the Australian Capital Territory and southern New South Wales, ringed by the Brindabella ranges and the Bungendore plain.), made principally from Shiraz. Australia's most famous cool-climate Shiraz, co-fermented with a splash of Viognier in true Côte-Rôtie fashion.

In character, this core tier delivers the classic shiraz profile — blackberry, white pepper, violet, bacon — with the structural stamp of Canberra District and a high-bodied presence. This profile reflects published sources, winery information and regional reference material, researched editorially rather than tasted blind.
