Read MoreThe Canberra District is known for its long, cool growing season, allowing Shiraz to develop fine tannins, bright acidity, and complex aromatics. The granitic soils and slow ripening conditions create wines with floral lift, spice, and vibrant red and black fruit intensity. Clonakilla’s minimal-intervention approach and use of Viognier co-fermentation add further depth, texture, and longevity.
Clonakilla’s Shiraz range reflects its dedication to balance, fragrance, and structure, with each wine showcasing a different expression of cool-climate Australian Shiraz.
The Clonakilla Shiraz Viognier 2023 is a benchmark for the Rhône-inspired Shiraz Viognier blend. The vintage is lifted and perfumed, with red cherry, spice, black pepper, and violets, all enhanced by Viognier’s floral and textural influence. The palate is silky and structured, with seamless tannins and an elegant, lingering finish. A perfect match for duck, slow-braised meats, truffle-infused dishes, and aged cheeses.
Sourced from New South Wales’ Hilltops region, this fruit-forward, vibrant Shiraz offers a more approachable style. The Clonakilla Hilltops Shiraz 2023 vintage is rich with blackberry, plum, and subtle spice, underpinned by silky tannins and bright acidity. Generous and expressive, it’s ideal for drinking now or cellaring for five to eight years. It’s a perfect match for barbecued meats, gourmet burgers, and rich tomato-based pasta.
A refined and structured expression of Canberra District Shiraz, the O’Riada Shiraz combines estate-grown fruit with grapes from neighbouring vineyards, blending power and elegance. The 2023 vintage showcases ripe red and black fruit, black pepper, and earthy spice, with fine tannins and a long, layered finish. Enjoy this Shiraz with roast lamb, grilled eggplant, or wild mushroom risotto, as its savoury complexity pairs effortlessly with hearty dishes.
Each Clonakilla Shiraz offers a unique take on cool-climate Shiraz. If you’re after an age-worthy, finely structured wine, the Shiraz Viognier is a standout choice.
