Discover the Rich and Complex Clonakilla

Clonakilla is a renowned winery located in the Canberra District, producing some of Australia's finest wines. Two of their most popular wines are the 2021 Clonakilla Hilltops Shiraz and the 2021 Clonakilla O'Riada Shiraz.

The 2021 Clonakilla Hilltops Shiraz is a classic expression of cool-climate Shiraz from the Hilltops region. This wine has a deep ruby color and aromas of black cherry, black pepper, and subtle hints of chocolate. On the palate, it is medium-bodied with flavors of blackberry, plum, and a touch of spice. The tannins are well-structured, providing a long and elegant finish.

The 2021 Clonakilla O'Riada Shiraz is a blend of Shiraz grapes from several vineyards in the Canberra District. This wine has a dark purple color and aromas of dark berries, violets, and a hint of oak. On the palate, it is full-bodied with flavors of blackberry, plum, and dark chocolate. The tannins are firm yet well-integrated, providing a long and smooth finish.

Both wines are excellent examples of the quality and complexity that Clonakilla wines are known for. They pair well with a variety of dishes, from grilled meats to hearty stews, and are equally enjoyable on their own. If you're looking for a premium Australian Shiraz, either the Hilltops or O'Riada Shiraz from Clonakilla would make an excellent choice.
