The 2017 vintage delivers remarkable perfume, finesse, and structural precision, highlighting why Clonakilla remains one of Australia’s most revered producers.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003e\u003cb\u003eVineyard and Winemaking\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"p3\"\u003eFruit was sourced from low-yielding estate vineyards in the Canberra District, where warm days and cool nights preserve aromatic intensity and natural acidity. Shiraz was co-fermented with a small proportion of Viognier, enhancing fragrance, texture, and complexity. Gentle extraction and maturation in fine French oak barriques allowed integration while preserving purity and balance.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003e\u003cb\u003eTasting Notes\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"p3\"\u003eHighly aromatic, with lifted notes of red cherry, raspberry, and plum layered with violet, spice, and subtle pepper. The palate is medium-bodied yet deeply expressive, offering vibrant red fruit, savoury undertones, and fine, silky tannins. Bright acidity provides energy and length, leading to a persistent and harmonious finish.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003e\u003cb\u003eStyle and Character\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"p3\"\u003eElegant, perfumed, and finely structured, the 2017 Shiraz Viognier showcases Clonakilla’s signature balance of fragrance and restraint.
