Clonakilla O'Riada Shiraz 2009
|

|
|
The 2009 O’Riada Shiraz is made from fruit selected from five vineyards around the villages of Murrumbateman and Hall. The winemaking included the use of pre-ferment maceration, whole bunches, warm extended ferments, 5% co-fermented Viognier and twelve months maturation in French oak, 25% new. 2009 was a great year in the Canberra District. The warm vintage and lower than average crop combined to produce fruit with a deeper, darker dimension woven through the classic Canberra cool-climate spice. Blackberry, aniseed, dark cherry and black pepper; a potent dark fruit aroma leading into a long, densely textured palate.
This is classic Canberra District Shiraz: red fruits, spices, black pepper; wonderfully fragrant with a bright, medium bodied palate. Drink now after decanting or cellar for five to ten years.
Clonakilla is a small, family winery very much dedicated to making distinctive, flavour full and choc a block bursting with greatness handcrafted wines. The wines are unfortunately made in very limited quantities and although hard to find are like gold when you get them home. They are really worth the money and time to research what you want and load into your cellar. Their specialty is wine made from two varieties which have their original home in the Northern Rhone valley in France: Syrah (Shiraz in Australia) and Viognier.
