About this product
Limited availabilityClonakilla Shiraz Viognier is considered by many as the one of the leading Australian wines and in particular, one of the country's premier Shiraz. Beginning its life after a career defining trip to the Côte-Rôtie in the mid 90s which set Tim Kirk on the journey towards producing one of Australia's best Shiraz. Determined to show that Australia could produce elegant but still powerful Shiraz, Tim's work has paid off with his flagship being acclaimed worldwide. The 2000 Shiraz Viognier shows just how effortlessly these wines age, and with over a decade in the bottle, the bright blue fruits have subdued somewhat to reveal an secondary flavoured beauty that is simply a joy.

Medium red-purple; a complex and aromatic bouquet with a mix of spice, licorice, berry and game; a high-toned and accented palate, extremely complex, and again raising the question where those gamey characters come from.
