Clonakilla Riesling 2007 - Sold Out
   |
The Clonakilla story(from Clonakilla's website)Clonakilla is a small, family winery dedicated to making distinctive, handcrafted wines. Our wines are made in limited quantities and can be a little hard to find. They are worth the search. We make a range of wines, but our speciality is wines made from two varieties which have their original home in the Northern Rhone valley in France: Syrah (Shiraz in Australia) and Viognier. Our flagship is a Shiraz Viognier blend. Here is winemaker Tim Kirk's tasting note on his Clonakilla riesling 2006:
"The 2006 has a pure, delicate, floral aroma with subtle mandarin peel citrus notes along with a suggestion of aniseed and wood spice. Those fine, natural acids seem especially elegant in 2006, giving a bright, lacy structure to the palate. This will cellar beautifully."
James Halliday's review of the Clonakilla riesling 2006:
"Flint, apple, spice and citrus are all to be foundin the bouquet; a particularly smooth and supple mouthfeel, without losing focus or elegance; good length and aftertaste. Rating: 94 points." James Halliday Wine Companion 2008 Regular Price: $29.99 Online Price: $24.99 |
