2023 Clonakilla Hilltops Shiraz
WINEMAKER: Tim Kirk REGION: Canberra District, NSW VARIETY: Shiraz VITICULTURE: Sustainable
This Shiraz is made from grapes selected from vineyards in the Hilltops district around Young on the south-western slopes of New South Wales. “This is ridiculous value” - Ken Gargett
2023 is the third in a series of cool years in the Hilltops region. You can taste the freshness and complexity the cooler season has brought to the wine. There is plenty of dark berry fruit here along with red fruit and floral notes which bring lift and intrigue to the perfume.
Established by John Kirk in 1971, Clonakilla is a truly iconic estate and benchmark producer for the Canberra District region. Their Shiraz Viognier is arguably one of the most important wines in the country. It's always a good day when these wines arrive in the shop.
