Note di degustazione
The cooler 2002 season crafted a more earthy and brooding Shiraz Viognier with dark mulberry fruits sitting behind waves of pepper and celery salt. It retains good fruit sweetness in a mid-weight package, although firm acidity is starting to assert itself, suggesting this will be best enjoyed over the short term.

The 2002 Shiraz-Viognier is beginning a slow fade. Bricking at the rim, this medium-bodied wine offers hints of soy sauce, meat and leather, yet remains silky on the finish, tinged with cracked pepper and cigar box.
Dark crimson. Dusty but most of all very meaty – and not just because we are smelling what’s going on in the kitchen here at Smith’s of Smithfield! Dry and pungent and with more than a hint of cordite but bone dry finish. Great testament to a great wine. (JR)
Informazioni sul produttore
The Kirk family’s winery was one of the first to put Murrumbateman Shiraz on the fine wine map. Founded in 1971, Clonakilla pioneered this cool-climate region and today the estate produces some of the finest Shiraz in Australia and the world, inspired by the styles of the Northern Rhône.
