Clonakilla Shiraz/Viognier 2022 is a meticulously crafted wine from the renowned Clonakilla winery, situated in New South Wales` Canberra District. The blend consists of Shiraz grapes co-fermented with 6% Viognier, promoting aromatic complexity. A portion of the grapes was fermented as whole bunches, while the remainder was de-stemmed. The wine aged for 12 months in French oak barrels, with 25% being new. Clonakilla, established in 1971, is noted for pioneering the Shiraz/Viognier blend in Australia, enhancing the region`s reputation for high-quality wines.

The 2022 Shiraz Viognier is sensational, but that assessment isn`t breaking any ground. It includes 5% Viognier co-fermented and had 20% to 35% whole bunches in the ferment. Lacy, ethereal and structural, this is equal part Boscobel rose (which, to me, smells of raspberry leaf tea and rose essence) and roasted meat juices. It is sweet and savory, spicy and svelte and peppered by layers of pastrami and roast beetroot. There are notes of earth, licorice, black tea, jasmine flowers in summer and lashings of dried exotic spices. This is affirming and good, so good. Drink it now for Pinot-esque pleasure or in 15-20 years for elegant, meaty, ethereal, fresh, complex, layered excitement. All good either way. This is one of my favorite Australian Shirazes. 13% alcohol, sealed under screw cap. - Erin Larkin
